Participate!
As we pray to become a People of Participation this year, there are several ways we as Southside can be supporting our youth on this important journey of leadership development.
PRAYER
Prayer is the first and most important way you can participate. Each student will be developing a team to pray for them up to and during the program, and we’d love you to join with us.
DESIGNATED GIVING
The program tuition is $3000 for each student, including the travel costs. Watch for opportunities in the coming months to give financial support above your tithe.
BOTTLE RETURN
You can support SALT simply by returning your cans and bottles! Visit any Return-It EXPRESS depot and use the account number 6042590170 at the kiosk. Your drop-off will be counted and the money put towards training young leaders. This is a great way for kids to participate!
LEVEL GROUND
We have a fundraising partnership with Level Ground Fair Trade, in which we can sell their amazing fair trade products and the profits go to supporting the SALT team. Pick up brochures, order forms and coffee subscription forms from Kyson Morgan or online here, and get your networks involved in supporting a fantastic local business and the SALT students. We will put in orders monthly.
ONE TOO MANY
We are so thrilled to announce our partnership with Peppermint Toast Publishing through their book One Too Many. One Too Many is a picture book that addresses children’s access to basic rights. Inspired by the value and power of one, it enlivens imaginations and sparks conversation to empower practical action towards social justice and responsibility. $5 from every book sold goes straight to the SALT Squad! More info here.
HOUSEHOLD SERVICES
Do you need a babysitter, or some help around the house or in the garden? Perhaps there’s a to car to be washed or some spring cleaning to accomplish? Have a SALT student or team come to your home and provide these services, and in exchange, you are encouraged to make a donation for SALT.
Another way to participate is by offering a services yourself—perhaps a skill you specialize in—and having those you work for donate towards SALT. Or consider making a donation towards a few hours of SALT team service for a friend who could use a hand!
