MISSIONS AND OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES

PECK ELEMENTARY

We maintain an ongoing partnership with our neighbors at Peck Elementary! There are many opportunities to support their students and staff each year. We are always looking for Classroom Buddies, Reading/Lunch Buddies, Field Trip Chaperones, and Bus Greeters. We then have more specific opportunities throughout the year such as delivering Backpack Beginning Meal Bags to classrooms, helping their Social Worker, Ms. Bush support the students in their varying needs, assisting with 5th grade graduation and end of year testing and more! See the Serve Chain or Contact Katey Galyon at kgalyon@christgreensboro.org for more info.

UNCG SPARTAN OPEN PANTRY | AGGIE FOOD SOURCE AT NC A&T

The need for food for college students is not what we hear about in the news, but the need is just as great. Find the list of needed pantry items at the Mission Cafe and here: SOP/SRG Food List. Donations can be dropped off at the Mission Cafe and in the drop off bin outside near the door that leads to the Fellowship Center and don’t forget First Food Sunday!

MEALS ON WHEELS

About 40 CUMC members currently volunteer with the Meals on Wheels (MoW) program run by Senior Resources of Guilford County, and we would love to have even more. We gather one day each month (the 4th Tuesday) to deliver about 300 meals to homebound seniors. You can choose to deliver as part of a pair or alone. Deliveries begin around 9AM and last about 2 hours. To volunteer, you will need to apply then go through a short training session at Senior Resources. You can begin the process online - https://www.senior-resources-guilford.org, or contact Al Rives (rivesab@wfu.edu) with questions or for assistance in applying. Another way to help is by donating to the Senior Resources Food Drive. This list can be found here. Donations can be dropped off at the Mission Cafe and in the drop off bin outside near the door that leads to the Fellowship Center.
