We are ready to support UMCOR’s work to make God’s Love Real anywhere in the world!
The Midwest Distribution Center van is now at our church and we will begin collecting items for disaster relief for UMCOR.
The Midwest Distribution Center has a large campus located at Pawnee, Illinois. where volunteers assemble and ship everything needed for a disaster area, and we are ready to help.
We will be collecting items used for disaster relief and humanitarian efforts on an as needed basis and take turns transporting them to Illinois. We anticipate using the trailer as a visual reminder of the Mission Outreach commitment to serving those in need with basic food, shelter, clothing, care & advocacy, throughout the year. We will have two specific collections for disaster relief a year, in addition to emergency collections.

Our Family Promise Mission

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 are caring for families in the program by providing meals on specific weeks during the year. We also support this mission through monetary donations, nonperishable food and household supplies. |
Contact Pam Layton to find out more about how you can help prepare meals for our family and the other Family Promise guests.
