We have many service opportunities we are excited to share with you!

 

HURRICANE RESPONSE

We are so thankful that you are ready to help those affected by the storm. Below is a few different ways you can help:

 

GIVE: You can give directly to impacted communities by giving here to Grace Church in Cape Coral which has multiple campuses in SW Florida.

Please give here to assist UMCOR who will have a team ready for all of Florida.

 

WE ARE COLLECTING: We are collecting large tarps, water, and UMCOR Cleaning Kits now through Sunday, October 16, 2022. Bring your donations to the church office or to the lobby on Sunday morning.

 

WANT TO GO AND HELP? We are currently seeking volunteers willing to do some chainsaw work and tarping roofs in Cape Coral.  Grace Church in Cape Coral will house and feed us either in the church or in members’ homes. There is no power, so we will be roughing it. Bring your own gloves and tools (if you have them). They need a team as soon as possible, so we hope to go to Cape Coral within the next week. Please contact Pastor Cathy, chart@phumc.net if you are interested in going.

 

PACK A SACK will be packing each Thursday evening. 

It is time to start packing! We have been partnering with two schools in Clearwater, Sandy Lane Elementary and Calvin Hunsinger for many years. The needs at these two schools are great. These children are food insecure and may not have food on the weekends. That is the purpose of the Pack-a-Sack program. Each year we receive more and more requests for students who qualify. We need your help. It costs $160 to sponsor a child for the school year. To find out more information about volunteering or sponsoring a child, join us at our Annual Pack a Sack meeting on Thursday, August 25, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. in rooms A202-203.

A  Mission Opportunity

A group is now forming to take the love of Christ into a Clearwater neighborhood beginning in January 2023. The program will engage neighborhood children in crafts, sports, snacks, and the message that God loves them. It will meet each Saturday during the school year at Calvin  Hunsinger School.  An informational meeting will be held in early October for those who are interested. If you would like more information, please contact Bob Stolz, at 727-657-9049, and leave a   message. He will return your call.

 

 

Giving Hope Needs You    

As we enter into the fall, the need is greater for volunteers to help at Giving Hope. Giving Hope feeds the homeless Monday –Saturday by distributing bags of non-perishable food and sandwiches to those in need in North Pinellas and Pasco. From preparing the food for distribution to deliveries and everything in between, this vital ministry to our community needs your help. For more information about how you can help, contact Don Lewis, dlepay@gmail.com.
