Support Our Local Police Officers

One of the ways Pender shares Christ's love with our community is by caring for the men and women who serve and protect us every day.

Our Pender Police Rest Stop provides local police officers with a welcoming place to grab a snack, enjoy a cold drink, and take a brief break during their shifts. It's a simple gesture of appreciation that lets them know their community is grateful for their dedication and service.

We Need Your Help!

Right now, we're especially in need of full-size bottled water.

We're also collecting some of our officers' favorite snacks and beverages, including:

  • šŸ’§ Full-size bottled water (please, no 4-ounce bottles)

  • āš” Celsius Energy Drinks

  • šŸ„¤ Seltzers, Gatorade, Propel, Aspire, and other energy drinks

  • šŸ˜ Drizzilicious Rice Cakes

  • šŸ„Ø Individual-sized snacks such as chips, jerky, cookies, nuts, and crackers

Donations may be dropped off in the church office and should be clearly marked "Police Rest Stop."

Every bottle of water, every snack, and every drink is a tangible reminder that our church supports those who work tirelessly to keep our neighborhoods safe. Your generosity not only helps meet a practical needā€”it also encourages and uplifts the officers who stop by.

Thank you for helping Pender extend hospitality, gratitude, and God's love to our local heroes. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one snack at a time.
