Beaver Church Food Pantry
Our outdoor food pantry is very well utilized by the community. Donations have dropped off a bit, and so we are asking people to again think of helping. We need to keep it stocked with new non-perishable food, so that we can fill it at least one time each week. If you could, please think of buying some food items and placing them on the shelves by the elevator in the Fellowship Hall. If you would prefer to place them directly in the food pantry box outside, you can do that as well. Thank you for your generosity to this program.
Kroger Card Rewards - Beaver Church Fundraiser
Beaver Church enrolled in the Kroger Community Rewards fundraiser program in 2011. Since then, the church has received several thousand dollars in rebates. These rebates are earned by members and friends who sign up for Kroger Community Rewards and select Beaver Church as the beneficiary for their Kroger purchases. This is an easy way to donate to the church.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Get a Kroger Plus card, if you don’t have one already.
2. Create a digital account using the Kroger app on your smart phone, or the kroger.com website online.
3. Link your Kroger Plus card to your digital account.
4. In the Community Rewards section, search for “Beaver United”. Click the “Enroll” button under “Beaver United Church of Christ.”
5. Once this is done, Kroger will automatically donate a small percentage of your purchases to the church, at no additional cost to you. Kroger sends a check to the church every few months. If you have trouble registering your card, see Alice Clausing after church, and she will help you set it up.
