Donate
Join us in supporting the Banyan Community:
- $5,000 gives our high school students a boost with a scholarship, or employment at the Banyan, or support in the ASPIRE! program (high school support program).
- $2,500 is a gathering! How about apple picking with 150 people? Or we could go ice skating at the Depot! (Gatherings are family and community get-togethers to build relationships and community)
- $1,000 is a field trip, complete with a bus! Let’s go swimming, or how about to a museum? Getting out on field trips is a great way to learn and broaden our horizons.
- $500 is very crafty….it will provide craft supplies for a month for the after school program.
- $250 provides an elementary student the opportunity to attend one week of summer overnight camp at Honey Rock!
- $50 helps provide snack for the day for our hungry middle-schoolers!
- Any amount is welcome!
