*Special Request for January*

We are collecting canned food items during the month of January. Our goal is to collect 250 cans - bring your donation by the Narthex by January 31st!

How Is West Broadway Involved?

West Broadway Baptist Church is a “member” of Jeffersontown Area Ministries. This means that we, along with 19 other church congregations, have the opportunity to contribute to JAM in four ways: (1) financially, (2) by donations of food and personal care items, (3) by volunteering our time and services, and (4) by donating items to Goodwill in JAM’s name. Watch our newsletter for details on how we can serve our community in each of these four ways.
