May’s special collection is for Odyssey Youth Movement. It is a nonprofit organization promoting equity for LGBTQ+ youths and young adults in the Inland Northwest through peer-led, adult-supported programs and community education. Odyssey hosts drop-in programs in the South Perry district for LGBTQ+ youths ages 13–18 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3–8 p.m., and for LGBTQ+ young adults ages 18–24 on Thursdays from 5–9 p.m.

During drop-in, youths and young adults have free access to basic needs items, such as snacks and a hot meal, hygiene and safer sex supplies, a gender-affirming clothing closet, and more. A donation to Odyssey helps provide local LGBTQ+ youth with these much-needed programs and resources.

If this ministry speaks to you, we invite you to give generously.

If you’d like to contribute to this special collection, you may do so when it is announced during services, mail a check to the church (4340 West Whistalks Way, Spokane, WA 99224) or donate online. Be sure to note in the memo section that your contribution is for the May special collection.

Take me to the online donation page.

Thanks again for your kindness and generosity!
