Spring Sermon Series + Small Groups
Featured
On Sundays, March 9, 16 + 23, Ward Church will be collecting non-perishable food and personal items for local pantries. This annual tradition is our opportunity to restock pantry shelves in our backyards and provide the Deacon’s resources to continue supporting local needs.
This year we will be collecting for the Salvation Army of Plymouth, Northville Civic Concern, Help's On The Way in Dearborn and CARES of Farmington Hills. Thank you for blessing so many of our neighbors!

Frequently Asked Questions
Unused, unopened items from home are fine! But—PLEASE CHECK ALL EXPIRATION DATES, “USE BY” DATES, etc. We cannot distribute any item with an expiration or “use by” date earlier than June 2024.
We’re sure they are delicious, but we cannot distribute homemade items of any kind. And we cannot accept any items where the container has been opened or the seal broken.
Yes, but for items such as paper goods and diapers, ONLY IF these have individually wrapped items or wrapped smaller packs of items that can be broken out for dispersal to those in need.
Please no! It is much more helpful to the organizations distributing the donation items to have 2 or 3 small-to-medium sized jars, containers, cans, or boxes, so they can meet the needs of several families, rather than one huge container that can serve only one family.
Any size is really okay, but the organizations say that larger infant sizes, such as 4-6 months, are especially helpful.
You sure can! Cash is okay, but we can’t provide a receipt. Checks are fine, made payable to Ward Church, with Spring Bounty written on the memo line. Drop in a giving box. You can also donate online.
Sorry, we can’t. But if you need help bringing items into the church from your vehicle, ask for help at the desk at either campus.
