Royal Market

A great gift for any occassion! We invite you to give an out-of-the-ordinary gift to a loved one while making a difference in the lives of foster children within our community. For The Children ministry provides children in foster care in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties an amazing and life-changing week at a sleepaway summer camp, where they are treated royally and loved as members of God’s family. When you make a donation to sponsor any portion of camp in a friend or loved one’s name, you can choose to have an e-card emailed to your loved one, letting them know that this donation was made on their behalf as your gift to them. For more info and to make a donation: Visit our Royal Market today.

On that website, under “Donate, Sponsor, Purchase“, click “Donate & View Items“. Then click “Donate” to preview the list of donation options and e-cards.
