Help Us Welcome New Students!

Summer isn’t over yet, but Gateway Cares is already looking ahead to the fall as we prepare to bless new students arriving on campus. During Gateway Fest, we’ll be handing out Student Care Boxes to first-year students from Fanshawe College and Western University — and we’d love for you to be part of it!

To join in, simply pick up an empty care box and a list of suggested items from the Connections Desk. Then fill the box with thoughtful goodies for students who may be living away from home for the first time. Think comfort and convenience: Starbucks gift cards, Kraft Dinner, Mr. Noodles, candy, chocolate, pens, pencils, coffee or tea, a travel mug — anything that says “you’re welcome here.”

Please return your filled box to the church by September 1 so we can have them ready to distribute during Gateway Fest on September 7.

Let’s show our students that Gateway cares!
