  • YOUTH VILLAGES BackPack Heroes Collection Drive 2026

    The Outreach Committee and all of us at FCCW have a long standing partnership with Youth Villages and their mission to support kids and youth with behavioral and emotional issues – working to keep them in their homes and support transitional placements as well. One of their major initiatives is to provide each Youth Villages kids with a well stocked backpack for the first day of school.

    As they have grown, Youth Villages now assembles the backpacks at their Woburn office…and we can help them by providing supplies.  Here’s how it works.

    • Youth Villages has supplied this link  https://a.co/0gTLVn0U to their wish list.  You can help a Youth Villages kid by purchasing some items on this list. Amazon will then send those directly to Youth Villages in Woburn.
    • Alternatively, you can buy the same item somewhere else and deliver it to Youth Villages at 12 Gill St in Woburn.
    • Items need to be to Youth Villages by August 3rd

    Please reach out to Betsy Goodell (or call/text 781-389-8745) with any questions or if you need help with the drop off.

    Thanks for making that first day of school happy for some kids who need a kind hand at their back.

Our Gallery

For decades, we have celebrated our LGBTQIA+ siblings and their inclusion in all parts of our worship and congregational life. In 2001, we became Open & Affirming through the UCC, meaning we are liturgically and theologically committed to a public covenant of welcome.
