Thank you to everyone who made Christmas a little bit more!
You, members and friends, of MUMC surpassed our goal for purchasing gifts for the young people at Pathfinders of Milwaukee.
Because of your generosity, Mission Outreach was able to purchase all the gifts on the wish lists and more. Susan Yorio and Karen Stern delivered cozy blankets, board games, basketballs, earbuds, Bluetooth speakers, Amazon gift cards, Sally's Beauty Supply gift cards, and Neroli Salon gift cards to a very grateful Pathfinders organization. You have made Christmas a happier one for the Pathfinders of Milwaukee community. |
MUMC is caring for a family in the Family Promise program. Christmas is a special time to make sure the father, mother, and two children had a wonderful holiday. Thank you to everyone who donated toward the gifts. Pam Layton was able to purchase everything on their list and provide extra gift cards, too. She also purchased decorations to brighten their hotel room.

Our church is one of 10 Family Promise host churches in Ozaukee County. Until COVID-19 Safe at Home, homeless families stayed at the host churches. Now they are in a hotel or at the Family Promise Shelter until they find a home. In the meantime, we have a family we are caring for and we provide meals on Mondays and support this mission through monetary donation, nonperishable food and household supplies. Next up, we are providing dinner on December 29. |
