Delivering Slices of Love for LEISD

Serving Those Who Protect and Serve Us
One of our favorite ways to shine the light of Jesus to our community is through our Dollar Days ministry.

Breaking previous records, the August Dollar Days initiative raised over $1800! This generous amount, collected on the first Sunday of August, allowed us to truly bless the 89 sworn police officers and nine support staff of Little Elm…
Back to School Supplies
Because of your gifts to Dollar Days and donations throughout July, we delivered 60 packed backpacks to Little Elm ISD. That’s a ton of backpacks. Okay, maybe not a literal ton, but it was enough backpacks to fill the bed of a truck and then some. Money from Dollar Days paid for the backpacks, while donations from church members were used to fill each one. Volunteers came up the night before the delivery to pack all the backpacks. They packed…

Ocean Waters, Fried Chicken, and NY Pizza
At Crossridge Church, we’re serious about loving and serving our community, and our monthly Dollar Days ministry is the perfect opportunity to walk this out. For the April Dollar Days event, we raised $1,106 to bless our neighbors here in Little Elm. We wanted these funds to make a tangible impact in people’s lives, so we used the money to pay for lunches at three local restaurants: Sonic, KFC, and Joe’s Pizza. We gave the store managers the freedom to…
Baskets to Baskets

In case you missed it here it is. Thank you to all of…

What’s better than giving out backpacks to kids? Giving out backpacks full of school supplies to kids. Each year we donate backpacks and school supplies to LEISD.

School Supplies and The Smell Of Fresh Crayons
Do you remember the days when you were a kid and you opened up that brand new box of 8 or 16 crayons? You knew it was a special day when you flipped open the delicate tab and saw the small, shining points of never used round objects made of colored wax. With eyes wide open and pupils dilated, you would reach in the colorful box and pull one out only to be enchanted by the smell of fresh cardboard…
