Dominican Republic Mission Trip Donations

Our Senior Class is headed to the Dominican for our annual Mission Trip. The dates of the trip are January 8-12, 2018. This trip would not be possible without the donations from our Hickory Grove families. Below is a list of items we are asking for students to donate. Collection dates will be Jan 3-Jan 5.
Monetary donations are also being taken to purchase food bags once the students arrive in the Dominican. Students assemble and distribute the food bags to families in the villages and communities while they are there ministering to the local people. A small gift of $15.00 will feed a family of four for one month.
Please contact the high school office at 704-531-4077 if you have any questions.
Thank you for your contributions to the people of the Dominican Republic! Dates for Collection: December 11 –Jan 5.
