Caring for Kids


This ministry fills in the gap for needs that arise throughout the year at Hickory Grove Elementary School. The ministry grew out of a specific need expressed by Hickory Grove Elementary School at our Children’s Sabbath worship service in 2016. Our speaker, from the school, stated there was a pressing need for socks and underwear for students who got dirty during the day or needed those basic articles of clothing. 


School Uniforms Needed

Caring for Kids is collecting school uniforms and other items. 

Contact Susan phone or email your name and contact information to volunteer. 


School Supplies Need


Hickory Grove Elementary would appreciate donations of items like ‘fun’ pencils and erasers, party favor type items etc. Caring for Kids is also collecting school supplies for returning students. The most needed items are: backpacks, pencils, any used children’s books, Lysol wipes, folders, notebooks, markers, lined paper, Kleenex, hand sanitizer, crayons and construction paper. 


Watch for more information about specific items we will be collecting each Sunday in August. Contact Susan with any questions. email
