Contribute to the Grand Canyon Synod Youth Gathering Snack Drive

As the Grand Canyon Synod gears up to send 120 young people and 45 adults to this year's Youth Gathering, we are calling on our community for support in a simple, yet impactful way—snack donations! The Gathering will bring together 26,000 participants to explore faith, engage in worship, and enjoy fellowship. During these enriching days, our youth will need sustenance to keep their energy high from standing in long lines to participating in evening bible studies and traveling between venues.

We are seeking donations of non-perishable snacks such as granola bars, fruit snacks, chips, pretzels, popcorn, and non-chocolate candy. Gift cards are also greatly appreciated and will be used to purchase additional supplies.

Your generous contributions can be delivered to the Synod office throughout May, from Monday to Thursday between 9 AM and 5 PM. Please call or email to verify someone will be here at the specific time you arrive.

For those who are not local or prefer to contribute remotely, monetary donations can be made online or items can be shipped directly via mail or Amazon to the Synod office at 1819 E Morten Ave., Suite 110, Phoenix, AZ 85020. Again, call or email before sending items to ensure your donation is coordinated smoothly.

Even if your congregation doesn't have youth attending the Gathering, your support can still make a significant difference. Let’s rally together to ensure our youth have a nourishing and fulfilling experience!
