Midwest Mission has been blessed with volunteers across the Midwest who give of their time, energy and resources to assist us in carrying out God’s mission to help those in need. Some of these volunteers use the facilities God has blessed them with to provide a donation collection point for needed supplies. These are our Permanent Collection Sites! You can find their contact information here.
What’s Happening @ Permanent Collection Sites?
We would like to welcome our newest Permanent Collection Sites added in September:
First UMC, Bedford, IN and Bethlehem UMC, Hutchinson, MN
Thank you, Mequon UMC, Mequon, WI for organizing collections from Cargill UMC and Lord’s UMC. They collected 44 school kits, 22 bed packs, a sewing machine and many other needed items. Great job!
Bethany UMC, Green Bay, WI worked hard and it paid off. They have collected 200 PDKs, 150 School kits, 40 Home Care kits, 2 sewing machines and 2 bicycles. Awesome!
Riverside UMC, Park Rapids, MN delivered a trailer full of sewing machines and other items to our location in Illinois. Thank you, Duane and Jennifer Gebhard, for bringing those to Midwest Mission. Riverside UMC also took home a Loom to begin weaving Sleeping Mats. Start recycling those grocery bags!
Thank you to Pat and Sharon Baumer, Emmanuel UMC, Noblesville, IN, who spent two weeks as Volunteer Leaders at Midwest Mission in Illinois. Part of that time was spent with a team of volunteers from their own church.
Volunteer Leaders, Stan and Jennie Lowrey, Pattonsburg UMC, Pattonsburg, MO, along with Ray Trent, New Lenox UMC, New Lenox, IL, worked outside with the Nomads team during the hottest weeks of the summer. Thank you for all you do!
We have added several new sites in 2023 and hope to add even more. If your congregation is interested in becoming a Permanent Collection Site, please contact teresa@midwestmission.org for more information.
