Missions YOU funded in 2017
This past year FUMC implemented a new budget system. A portion of the dollars and pledges you contributed to FUMC helped fund a variety of mission projects. JAMM (Justice and Mission Matters) is the committee that allocates the mission funds. Some of the missions served this past year include:
Food:
Chavez Elementary Backpack Program, Food for Lane Co, Thursday Breakfasts, FISH (local food pantry), lunch bags.
Medical Care and Education:
HIV Alliance, Opportunity Medical Bus, Mothers and Children's Medical Center/Uganda, OEEDO/Cambodia Mission, CAHOOTS
Shelter
:
Interfaith Shelter Families, Community Supported Shelters, Egan Warming Centers.
Immigrants and Refugees:
Centro Latino, DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals).
Disaster
:
UMCOR (buckets and funds)
Others:
Raging Grannies, FUMC youth mission, Sacred Earth, Inside Out Sundays, Reconciling Ministries. This is not an all inclusive list but gives you a sense of whom you are serving with your gift of funds, time, and talents, both within our community and outside our borders.
All of these missions serve people in need of food, shelter, health care, education, or safety. Thank you for caring enough to share your resources with them.
