RISE AGAINST HUNGER
Rise Against Hunger has become an annual event at Maple Springs in which a crowd of volunteers gather in Craven Hall to pack nutrition dense compact meals. Meals are then distributed worldwide to feed hungry school children. There is always a need for people to work together in an assembly-line fashion to pack meals. If interested, please contact Kim Richmond at kjrichholder@gmail.com.
UMCOR RELIEF
Maple Springs United Methodist Church supports the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), an organization dedicated to alleviating human suffering around the globe. UMCOR’s work reaches people in 80+ countries, including the United States. UMCOR provides humanitarian relief when war, conflict, or natural disaster disrupt life to such an extent that communities are unable to recover on their own.
Volunteer: Volunteers provide assistance throughout the year, based on needs. Groups and individuals (all ages!) are needed to plan, assemble, and distribute items such as backpacks, hygiene kits, and flood buckets throughout the year. Donation of various supplies are collected throughout the year. Monetary donations are also accepted to purchase additional supplies. Prayers for those affected by suffering around the globe are also welcome. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Bill Blackburn at bill@maplesprings.org.
