UMCOR’s (United Methodist Committee on Relief) depot is empty and hurricane season is here. Our goal is to raise $1500 before the end of September to assemble 20 cleaning kits. Additional funds raised will go to more kits or UMCOR National Disaster Relief. Make your donation to Herndon UMC and designate “UMCOR kits” by any of the usual routes–online or by check– or give directly at bit.ly/UMCORKitChallenge. (Note: 2.2% in fees are deducted from online gifts.)
Our goal is to fill 200 bags. The youth will be packing 100 bags for the first delivery, and everyone is invited to help on 10/02 at 4pm with the second 100 . We will meet in the big kitchen.
Sign up for specific food items, due by Thursday 09/22. If you would prefer to make a financial donation (to “Backpacks”), we will be happy to do the shopping.
