Puerto Rico Mission Trip Possibility
The United Methodist Volunteers in Mission are now scheduling volunteer groups to help with ongoing recovery after the devastating hurricane of September 2017.
We are hoping to form a team from Broadway UMC for an 8 to 9 day trip late fall of this year to reconstruct houses and sanctuaries.The work is heavy, with warm temperatures and higher elevations.The minimum age is 18. The cost per person is around $1,000 which includes rustic lodging (no electricity), meals, and airfare. Costs of renting a van for the group and hiring a translator ($1,800) can hopefully be covered from Outreach funds. A meeting for those interested is tentatively planned for Sunday, April 15 at 10 a.m.
in the Fellowship Hall. If you would like more information,

As a new agent of Second Harvest Food Bank, Brown Food Pantry is undergoing some minor changes. This promises to be a long-term, money-saving relationship that will allow us to better serve our clients. We are, as always, in need of volunteers to help with set-up and with serving our clients. In addition, we have a
NEW OPPORTUNITY
for those looking for ways to get involved with our community. If you volunteer at Second Harvest, you can earn hours that will be credited to our account at 2
nd
Harvest. At his time of year, there are students who need to fulfill volunteer hours for their schools or organizations. This could be just what they need. Second Harvest's hours are flexible, and they welcome any age volunteer (young children must be supervised by an adult). They have several handicapped volunteers as well. It is a huge operation that depends on their volunteers to function. If you are be interested or have questions.
