Our Vision

We support, through volunteer time and donations, non-profit organizations
that serve the hungry and homeless with a focus on life changing programs
and well-being.

Hunger Task Force Food Drive

Mission Outreach and Vacation Bible School are joining together to collect food for Hunger Task Force in August.

Look for the Hunger Task Force collection boxes in the church entrance and in the Narthex.
Here are the foods Hunger Task Force needs for their "Healthy Plate" nutrition program:

Low sodium canned vegetables.
Whole grain foods such as brown rice, oatmeal, cereal without sugar, multigrain pasta
Condiments: salsa, oil, mustard, salt-free seasonings
Snacks: Healthy foods for on-the-go: granola, nuts & seeds, breakfast bars, graham crackers
Dairy: Boxed, low-fat milk, soy milk, oat milk

Monetary donations are always welcome. Make a check out to MUMC with Hunger Task Force in the memo line.
