Have you ever been driving down the street, hit a stoplight, and see someone with a sign asking for something? Have you ever thought “I really wish I had something to give them.” Well, now you will. Help us in donating supplies for UNITEyouth project called Take-a-Bag. The youth will create bags with essentials for the homeless, and distribute them to those that park in the FUMC parking lot during the marigold festival. This way, people will be able to have something they can give to those they encounter a situation of homelessness. Check out the table in our Hospitality Area for a list of items that will bring this project to fruition! Once you bring your donations, drop them off in the box. We are asking that you bring your donated items into the church by September 4.
Thank you so much!
