At Forest City Church, we believe in the power of generosity and coming together as a community to make a difference in the lives of those around us. That's why every month, we choose a different mission to support. In the past, we have collected items for homeless shelters, raised money for school uniforms, packed meals, and gathered food items for the local food bank. These missions are an opportunity for our members to get involved and make a positive impact in our community.

Mission of the Month: Cereal Drive
One Box. One Family. One Way to Make a Difference.
This month, we're partnering with the Rock River Valley Food Pantry to help put food on the tables of families right here in our community. And something as simple as a box of cereal can make a big difference!
Last month alone, the Rock River Valley Food Pantry served 2,675 households! One of their goals is to provide every family they serve with a box of cereal. That's 2,675 boxes needed in just one month!
Right now, cereal is one of their greatest needs, and we have an opportunity to step in and help.
Here's How You Can Help
Donate Boxes of Cereal
The pantry is specifically requesting regular-size boxes of cereal. While those giant family-size boxes might seem like a better deal, regular-size boxes actually allow the pantry to distribute cereal to more families. So grab a few boxes on your next grocery run and help us fill those pantry shelves!
Give Financially
Not much of a shopper? No problem! You can make a financial donation instead. Financial gifts are especially helpful because they give the pantry the flexibility to purchase exactly what they need, when they need it most.
