Rise Against Hunger
We are partnering with our CCoM (Parkwood, Christus Victor, and All Saints) to raise a total of $6,400 between our three churches, which leaves an average of about $2,133 per church. This will pay for about 15,000 meals that will go out across the world to schools, orphanages, and communities that need them. We learn where our meals go later on, after we’ve packed the meals. If everyone gave $50 each, we would easily reach our goal! Please consider donating and signing up for the event by clicking the link:

Fighting Hunger with Rise Against Hunger
Our goal is to raise $1500 for Rise Against Hunger for each of our CCoM churches (total is about $4,500 for 10,000 meals and rental fee for gym). If you would like to give towards Rise Against Hunger, you may write your check to “Parkwood UMC” and put “Rise Against Hunger” in the memo line. If 30 people gave $50, we could raise $1,500 for Rise. Please consider giving today and help us reach our goal!
