| SECOND SATURDAY “IN CITY” MISSION PROJECT | |
| How We Serve | For many years, the FUMC Mission has been providing groceries to Hunter Plaza, a Fort Worth housing development for the elderly and disabled. This housing facility is located two blocks east of the Mission, and the residents in the facility are eligible to receive groceries from the Mission once a month. We deliver groceries to residents who have signed up for the delivery program. |
| What We Do | There are several ways to help: sacking groceries, restocking shelves, loading and unloading trucks, and delivering groceries to the individual apartments. |
| The Schedule |
SECOND SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH Meet your New Horizon Service Officer at the Mission at 9:00 a.m. for a brief training session. Deliveries should be underway by 10 at the latest. Depending on how many individuals sign up, we should be finished by noon. |
| Meet Us Here |
FUMC MISSION Corner of West 1st Street & Henderson For additional information, contact the New Horizon Service Officer or Paige Hines Director of Outreach for FUMC Mission (817-335-6080, Ext. 102) |
| TARRANT COUNTY AREA FOOD BANK | |
| How We Serve | Our FUMC Mission purchases food from the Tarrant Area Food Bank and distributes it to those in need. Each New Horizon volunteer will earn $5.15/hour credit for the Mission toward offsetting the Church’s monthly Food Bank bill. This project costs the class nothing, just time |
| The Schedule |
FIRST THURSDAY EACH MONTH.
Meet around 6:00-6:30 p.m. We’re usually finished by 7:45 p.m. or so. Afterwards, we’ll stop for refreshments. |
