"Angel" Tree

We act as Christmas Angels for several local families in need.  Each member of the family makes out a wish list.  The members of Celebration then have a month to fill those wishes.

Bring One

The second Sunday of every month, members bring non-perishable food for the food pantry at Good Hope Lutheran Church in Garden City.  The food pantry sometimes has special requests for items, which is communicated to the congregation.

Any non-perishable food donations are greatly appreciated, monetary donations are also accepted, Please make checks payable to Good Hope Food Pantry. This program helps many families in the area, food distributions are held twice a month, providing there are enough donations to do so. If you have any questions concerning this program, please contact Greg or Gloria Tapper.

Box Tops for Education

We give the box tops for education to the local schools.  If you are not already collecting them for your children or grandchildren, please clip them for us.  Place them in the basket on the communication board.  For information on this organization, select the photo to the left.

Days for Girls International

We are collecting girls underwear and washcloths for this great cause.  Days for Girls International provides feminine hygiene kits to girls in developing countries.  Missionary and medical teams distribute these kits. For more information, select the image to the left.

Gleaners exist to provide households with access to sufficient, nutritious food, and related resources. They accomplish this through collaboration, efficient operations, education, and innovative solutions to achieve a hunger-free community in southeast Michigan.  Gleaners is a vital link between available food and those who need it most. Celebration volunteers to help sort and package food at the Detroit warehouse.

Hamilton Elementary School

The Wayne-Westland Community Schools Literacy Corps initiative is geared toward improving student literary.  This initiative has been designed to improve student learning by engaging community volunteers to help young people develop a deeper appreciation for their own learning.

Celebration Knitters

A small group of knitters meets at 10:00 am on the 3rd Thursday each month at church to knit ad visit together.  We have a stash of yarn purchased with Thrivent funds to use for charity items which we donate to the food pantry or other services in November and December.  We have a display on a table in the welcoming area so you can see what was done in 2018.

If knitting piques your interest and yu would like to participate, feel free to contact Pat Villemure.

Thanksgiving Baskets

We make boxes with the fixings for Thanksgiving dinner for 20 families through the Bolde Center.  The congregation members donate the food required except for the turkeys, pack the boxes and deliver to the Bolde Center for distribution.
