If you choose to participate in one, or find other opportunities to serve in our community, let us know! Send your photos and a brief description to [email protected].

Backpack Outreach

Our annual Backpack Outreach is going on NOW! Stop by the Main Lobby or Kids Lobby to pick up a backpack, fill it with the enclosed list of school supplies, and return to North no later than July 3. Backpacks will then be distributed through Marietta Housing Authority and Community Outreach.

Church-wide Outreach Events

Christmas Wish List

Be a part of the major outreaches we offer each year. From our Freedom Celebration in July and our Back to School event in August to the Thanksgiving Outreach and Christmas Wish List, you have the opportunity to serve guests and those in need. These events are “all hands on deck” events; from providing parking help, to helping a child try on shoes, to providing a Thanksgiving meal to a family in need, to sponsoring a child for Christmas.

Interested in volunteering, please call Community Care at 678.285.3204.

Our Partners

YMCA
The YMCA is known as a great place to get healthy and fit, but, one thing you may not know is their commitment to help the surrounding community. North, along with other non-profits, local businesses, and government grants, partner with the YMCA on their projects to help bring food and meals to those in need, provide produce to local “food deserts”, and provide preschool education to poor communities.
