Quarterly Outreach: July - September

School Supplies

Back To School

Many of the families in our community are struggling financially, and purchasing back to school supplies and clothes is an added burden. Providing some of these items is one way we can reach out to these families. The school Family Resource Center Coordinators are always helpful in distributing the items where they are most needed. 

Giving Options:

You may choose to make a monetary donation designated as “school supplies,” or Purchase glue sticks. They may be placed on the

counter in the Sanctuary Welcome Center.

If anyone has ideas about additional needs relating to back to school or ministry outreach areas that we could focus on at other times of the year, please contact the Church Office.

Blessing Box Ministry

Blessing Boxes are appearing all over the United States. They are being erected by churches, businesses and individuals. A Blessing Box is an emergency standalone miniature food pantry. In pursuit of community outreach, the Hardinsburg United Methodist Church has erected a Community Blessing Box. HUMC is grateful to Mr. Larry Welch, a member of the congregation, who crafted the Blessing Box using reclaimed wood from the church’s former main entrance. For protection from the weather, the Blessing Box is located under the porch of Memorial Hall, facing the street. The box is never locked and contents are available 24/7 to anyone.

​

The Blessing Box is for anyone who experiences need when other resources are not available. The contents of the Blessing Box are donated by the congregation, although anyone in the community is welcomed and encouraged to donate. Non-perishable items which will withstand high and low temperatures are the best selections. The stock will vary from day to day according to use and donation. Sometimes there may be a full pantry, and sometimes not; but the hope is that there will always be something there for someone who is hungry. TAKE WHAT YOU NEED, LEAVE WHAT YOU CAN. LITTLE BECOMES MUCH IN THE MASTER’S HAND. 

Soapy Second Sunday Every Month 

 

Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

 

Once a month, on the second Sunday, HUMC collects cleaning products for distribution through the Good Samaritan Center. This is a community mission outreach that anyone can participate in by just picking up that extra bar of soap, dish or clothes detergent, shampoo, etc. Please place your donations on the table near the Serenity Room. A hearty thanks to you all.
