Within our Missions program, we support our local Second Harvest Food Bank which serves over 100 food relief agencies in a 7 county area of North Central Minnesota. Donations are received weekly.
UMCGR is a collection site. We also have a group that participates in filling backpacks and we also support the program financially though monetary donations.
Bring your own project to work on or work on Prayer Shawls or Chemo Caps, Thursdays at 10am here at UMCGR. Prayer shawls are available to give to anyone who may be in need of prayer, comfort, and God’s love. You’ll find these gifts near the Info Booth. Please leave your name, the shawl recipient’s name and the date of gift on the clipboard on the shelf near the shawls. Chemo Caps are donated to the Free Wig Closet located at UMCGR.
Our Quilters group meets on Tuesday mornings from 9:00 – noon. Their annual goal is to prepare as many quilts as possible for the Community Connect event, held each September. These quilts are donated to those in need at that time. No sewing experience is necessary, there’s a job and a lot of fun and fellowship for all. For more information, please contact Kay (rkklinger@gmail.com) or Linda (lingenra55709@gmail.com).
