Community Involvement

Community Involvement

Highland Community Church strives to make an impact in and around central Wisconsin and worldwide!   We encourage our staff and attendees to participate in local, national, and international service opportunities.

Highland Community Church offers a variety of opportunities to serve both locally and internationally throughout the year. Some of these include:

Summer Opportunities

 Summer Appreciation Dinner for Local Emergency Workers

Thank you for joining us in providing food for the local EMS, EMTs, and First Responders who served the Ringle community following the devastating tornado.

The appreciation meal will be held in Ringle on Tuesday, June 9, in the evening. To help ensure we have enough food and a good variety of items, we are asking for specific donations. Please bring all food items to the Weston Campus in disposable containers, as containers will not be returned.

Food donations may be dropped off between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the Weston Campus, 6615 County Road J, Weston. If you need to make other drop-off arrangements, please contact Janna Janke at .  Register to bring food here. 

Unless otherwise noted, please prepare portions that will serve approximately 8–12 people.

Items Needed:

  • School Supplies Drive: We collect school supplies to fill backpacks for children, helping them start the school year equipped and encouraged.

Winter Opportunities
