Chapel Offerings
This quarter, we are partnering again with We Will Go Ministries in Downtown Jackson. As part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas giving, we invite FPDS families to support in two simple ways:
$2 Donation: Each student is encouraged to bring $2 to their homeroom teacher to help purchase The Biggest Story Bible for children served by We Will Go.
Canned Food Drive: Students are also asked to bring 2–5 canned food items to help stock the We Will Go food pantry. Cans can be dropped off with homeroom teachers and will be delivered before Christmas.
