Educate A Child / Transform The World

We have been able to use generous contributions from the congregation to support students in our local school system!

We provide food bags including packaged breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snack items to students that are experiencing food insecurity at Elkin Elementary School and Elkin High School.

We look forward to expanding our work in 2026 and living further into our covenant, as Presbyterians, “to our common commitment of joining in God’s ongoing transformation of the world by working and advocating to ensure equitable, accessible, quality public education so that all people, created in the image of God, may grow into the fullness of life.”
