Thanksgiving Outreach
Do you enjoy new traditions?
Thanksgiving is the perfect season to bless others! In celebration of Emerge’s 51st year of service to the Akron community, a family-in-need has been selected to bless for the new Emerge Thanksgiving Outreach — Pastor Kemp Boyd, Executive Director of Love Akron, and his wife Stacey, who recently lost their home and all their belongings in a fire. We are so thankful their six children and dog remained safe.
If you would like to be a part of blessing the Kemp family as they navigate this difficult time of such a tremendous loss, all donations can be sent to Karen Wright, or send a request to Scott for your selected amount to be given from your paycheck and Emerge will match your giving.
