Time-Out to Make an Impact
Group Projects
Thursday Nights at The Pantry:
A great project for a small group to participate in together. Join
a Pantry Manager to check in food that has been collected during
the week. Bring the children, some construction paper, and some
crayons to let the kids made cards to be put in the boxes we hand
out!
We have a lot of young adults that are away at college, in the
military, or working in other cities. A small group of committed
volunteers could bless these young adults by collecting, packaging,
and sending fun little packages a couple of times a year.
Food Drives:
Take the lead on one of the many food drives that The Pantry
has scheduled for the spring. What does that mean? Get a
bin to the organization before the drive, picked up the food
collected periodically, do a great job of thanking the organization
afterwards!
Women of Grace:
Once every month HMUMC is responsible for providing and
serving a meal for a soup kitchen in downtown Atlanta. This is a
great opportunity for a group to go and serve together.
Family Opportunities
One Saturday every month HMUMC distributes Angel Food to
members of the community that have ordered boxes online. The
distribution day is typically the 3rd Saturday of the month. This is a
great way for adults, youth, and children to serve together!
A couple of times a year HMUMC prepares and serves a meal for
Trinity Soup Kitchen, in downtown Atlanta. Whether helping to
prepare the meal, or traveling to Trinity to help serve, this is a
great way for families to serve together.
Pantry Pickups:
The Pantry almost always has a food drive going on somewhere!
Families can be a huge help to The Pantry by volunteering to help
pick food up from a collection point and bringing it to HMUMC.
Make Your Own Project:
A good question for adults to ask themselves is, “What Breaks My
Heart?” What is it in our society, in our own community, that we
simply cannot believe is happening!? And then…what can I do
about it? Talk to your kids about what makes them sad. Other
kids that don’t have a house? The animals that are at the pound?
What is it? What can you, as a family, do?
Individual Opportunities
Have a passion for helping HMUMC partner with parents to bless
our children? Have two hours a week you’d like to donate to
HMUMC? Know how to use Microsoft Word and Facebook? If so,
you can be a huge blessing by updating the church website once a
week with information about Wellspring.
Have a passion for the various mission efforts that HMUMC is
involved with? Have two hours a week you’d like to donate to
HMUMC? Know how to use Microsoft Word and Facebook? If so,
you can be a huge blessing by updating the church website one a
week with information about Wellspring.
Pantry Manager:
Pantry Managers are the faithful frontline in The Pantry. Teamed
in pairs of two, the PMs run the show on Saturday mornings.
From packing boxes, to putting other volunteers to work, to (most
importantly) visiting with those who visit The Pantry, bring a Pantry
Manager is an incredibly rewarding and challenging opportunity.
Administrative Helper:
All of the staff and volunteers that lead ministries at HMUMC are
incredibly skilled in some area. Most of them, however, are totally
(or, at least, nearly) deficient at administration. We need help!
Like organizing, planning, and picking out pretty fonts for emails?
We need you. Seriously.
