For Frederick Week exists to show our community the love of Jesus by truly being the church in our community through our actions. Our goal is to meet needs of amazing organizations that support Frederick County residents in need of physical, financial, mental, and emotional assistance.
This impactful week will begin on Sunday, August 3rd with a kick-off event after church services. Then, we will go out into Frederick during the week to support local organizations through various service projects, ending with our annual Grocery Store Buyout on August 10th.
