Food Pantry Needs Help
Our food pantry needs help moving boxes upstairs. There is a need for younger, stronger, volunteers on Thursdays from 5-6 PM with folks picking up their boxes between 6 and 7 PM. The boxes weigh 20-25 pounds. Anyone interested, please contact Joan at 315-720-5513 or 315-673-1722. Thank you.
UMCOR Flood Buckets Needed
From the UNY Mission Central HUB at UNY Conference: HELP! Our warehouse is empty of Cleaning Kits! The spring floods are happening now. With COVID restrictions we had a significant decrease in volunteers and donations. We need your help! You can use our online portal, offering plate, or mail your financial gift to the church office. All checks should be made out to the “Jordan United Methodist Church” and please indicate in the memo “Flood Buckets. Brad Hamer will buy the supplies to fill the buckets. It is estimated that it costs $75 to fill one bucket with the requested supplies. We will be collecting monetary donations through April. Thank you!
Pill Bottles For Health and Hope
It’s hard to believe, but resources are so scarce in many places around the world that “professionals” wrap medication in paper or leaves for patients to take home. Please help by donating your empty prescription bottles. Remove the label entirely and place in the collection box on the shelves in the Whitmore Lounge.
Note: Postage is rather expensive as these containers must go incredible distances, therefore, if you are able, please earmark money for postage and place it in the offering plate or send check made out to JUMC.
