On three major holidays of the year --Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter-- dedicated servants gather to prepare and deliver meals to those in the local community who might not otherwise experience a full belly with food that has been lovingly prepared. The ministry is named in honor of Suzanne Wright who championed it.

Each week during the school year, over 365 food-insecure students from Iola Roberts, Walter M. Kennedy, and Eden Elementary Schools, receive two salty, two sweet, and two fruit snacks. Volunteers pack these snacks each Wednesday at 4:45 PM before our mid-week meals in the Beacon.

VOLUNTEER

Some people can't leave work and family for a week-long mission trip, but are glad to volunteer in local, mini mission trips. Several times a year, as needed, a team assembles to complete projects, such as replacing floors or building wheelchair ramps, in the greater Pell City area. Some volunteers work for several days while others can give only a day or two. Either way, there is great joy in the fellowship while helping neighbors in need and still getting to sleep in your own bed at night.

VOLUNTEER

PCFUMC partners with other local churches and resource agencies to help individuals and families find empowerment through the grace of God and the Body of Christ. Our main avenue of crisis assistance is through utility assistance when termination of service is threatened. For inquiries concerning assistance or to set up an appointment with our Community Outreach Director, please contact the church office at 205-338-3374 or communityoutreach@pellcityfumc.org.

Come and help us share the love of Christ with children in foster care. Two to four times a year we gather in the Beacon to eat, play, create, and simply have fun with local foster children while their foster parents get a much needed break.

Working with guidance counselors to identify students in need, in July each year, church volunteers provide local school children a backpack filled with school supplies and a shoe voucher for use at a local shoe store.
