Reaching Out with God's Love
"I Matter" Support for Foster Kids:
We believe that foster kids need an extra dose of love! Many kids are removed from homes with their belongings in garbage sacks. The "I Matter" duffel bag will give these kids a safe place to store their belongings. We hope to supply each foster child with a new bag and new pajamas. Money raised from our Annual Souper Bowl Throwdown supports this ministry in purchasing duffel bags, pajamas and a book. |
Snuggle Up and Read
Snuggle Up and Read is a new program that will be started at First United Methodist Church. Our goal is to give each 2nd grader in Pocahontas a book and a homemade blanket. Currently, we are raising money for this new mission.
Feeding Program Snack Cracker Collection: At the beginning of each school year we collect snack crackers for the Backpack Feeding Program at our local schools.
Food Pantry:
We collect and distribute food at Westridge Church of Christ on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month from 9:30 am- 12:30pm.

#AwesomeChristmas
#AwesomeChristmas helps provide Christmas for foster kids. Our church donates money and our youth go on a major shopping spree for these kids!
Reverse Advent Calendar
During the season of Advent we do a Reverse Advent Calendar. Each day participants are asked to donated a food item. At the end of Advent all the collections are split evenly with area food pantries.
