Why giving matters
A place where kids find family.
The Vine gathers two nights a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, when students in 6th through 12th grade walk through the doors. Every program is completely free for every student, and so is the dinner: a home-cooked meal is served to every Bible study participant, and no student pays a cent.
Because everything is free, gifts do more than cover a night. They make The Vine a place where kids find family, where Christ-centered adults who have passed background checks are always present, and where no student is ever turned away.
“The Vine is definitely like family.”

for every student, every night

Where your gift goes.
Every program and every meal is completely free for every student. Here is what it actually costs to make that happen, week in and week out.
$80
One gift covers an entire home-cooked dinner for a whole weekly gathering, the Tuesday home-cooked meal.
$3,300
A month of keeping the doors open: lease, insurance, internet, and utilities.
$4,000
A full year of Tuesday dinners: about 50 weeks of home-cooked meals, roughly $80 a night. Friday nights are covered by Louie's Pizza, a separate donation.
10–15
The kids who find a place to belong here every night we're open.
Bring back Monday nights
A third night, a whole year of dinners.
The Vine used to open three nights a week. Because of rising costs and giving being down, we had to pull back to Tuesdays and Fridays. A third night would add a home-cooked dinner for about 50 more weeks each year, roughly doubling the yearly meal cost to about $8,000. Gifts toward the campaign goal are what bring Monday nights back.
See the $10,000 campaign goalFriday nights are covered by Louie's Pizza, who have donated the pizza for years, and we are grateful for their support.
Your gift at work
Small gifts, faithful impact.
Every gift to The Vine lands where students feel it most. Here is what your generosity carries, week after week.
Campaign goal
$10,000
That is our current giving goal. The bar below shows live progress from Givebutter.
Reaching $10,000 brings back Monday nights and covers three months of the monthly bills.
Gifts count toward this goal through December 31, 2026, in time for Giving Tuesday and year-end giving.
When the goal is reached, every extra gift keeps carrying the ministry forward toward the next night, the next meal, and the next student through the door.
