News Flash - Connect is now officially associated with Reach
We are excited to share with you that Connect is now a part of the Reach Yorktown Ministry. Reach primarily focuses on the food pantry and Kids in the Meadow, and have now added Connect. This means that your donations to Connect will now have tax exempt status. Please let your friends and family know that want to support Connect, that donations should be made to Reach Yorktown with Connect in the memo line. Thank you!
Would your church like to help furnish snacks for Connect?
Connect is an interdenominational effort. If your church would like to reach out and help furnish snacks, we would appreciate their support. Right now we plan for snacks for about 50 students. We provide a small bottle of water and their choice of a salty or sweet snack: Bags of chips, popcorn, pretzels, little cookie packages, Nutty Bars, etc. We just put it out, and the kids choose what they want. By using the prepackaged stuff, we save the leftovers for the next week, and we don’t have to worry too much about allergies and they get what they like. We estimate it costs about $25 a week to feed them. We can accept either the money or you can bring us the individual packaged chips, cookies, small bottles of water, etc. Checks can be made out to Reach Yorktown with Connect in the memo line. Please contact Gayle Gernand at GJGernand@anderson.edu or Mary Ann Stroeh at stroehm@yahoo.com to let them know about your willingness to help out.

What Is Connect?
Connect is a fun, engaging faith based interdenominational club for fourth and fifth grade students that meets after school on the first and third Fridays of the month. Connect is open to all, believers and non-believers. It is staffed by parents and interested adults that have completed the school volunteer background process.
As believers we attend a variety of worship experiences, and our children do not always know that there are other believers out there with similar values and beliefs. Connect was established to help connect with each other and reach out to others that might enjoy these activities.
