Outreach Ministries
At FUMC of Longmont, we believe it is important to serve the community and provide Christian kindness and hospitality to all in need.
KIDS HOPE USA
...... One child......an at risk public elementary school student in your neighborhood with
................................emotional, social and academic needs.
...... One hour......sixty critical minutes each week when a mentor nurtures a one-to-one
................................relationship with a child who is just one person away from believing in herself.
...... One church...that wants a relational strategy to make a difference in the lives of children
................................and families in the neighborhood.
...... One school...a local public elementary school that is overwhelmed with the needs of
...............................children who are at-risk without a relationship with a caring adult.

The OUR Center is a Longmont food assistance facility that houses a food pantry and serves a hot lunch seven days a week. First United Methodist Church supports the OUR Center through food and personal item donations. We are a loving congregation that cares about the needs of the community. This is an especially difficult time for Longmont families as the Food Stamp system is leaving them without food.
Church food drive: Item for Oct. is Tuna.
The OUR Center will also accept Similac baby formula, baby food, bags of beans, cereal, canned fruit, pasta, hair shampoo toothpast, canned soup and dishwashing liquid. As always, any donations of any kind of food or personal items are appreciated. Please put your items in the box marked OUR Center located on the western side of the Gallery.
