For Thanksgiving this year, we will collect food donations for Brown Bag Ministries. This ministry is a nonprofit organization focused on aiding our neighbors through their mobile food bank.   By working with families where they are at, they are able to assist in supplementing them with food, basic hygiene and much needed household items. They support families in transition (motels), senior housing, veterans housing, low income housing and neighborhoods.    DICP Annual Christmas Giving: Coming Soon!   WPUMC will have the opportunity to adopt a family or families for their annual Christmas Giving program. Details to follow soon. Our goal is to adopt at least 10 families to provide Christmas cheer and joy.   If you have any questions, please reach out to Caroline Christensen at missions@washparkumc.org.

Christmas in the Park: Rolling Suitcases Needed!

For our unhoused Denver neighbors, having a secure way to transport their belongings from shelter to shelter is a matter of life or death. As winter approaches, there is a palpable sense of urgency among the homeless community. Again this year, Wash Park UMC is partnering with Stigma and After Hours to provide rolling suitcases and backpacks to our homeless neighbors at our December 25th event called "Christmas in the Park." We need your help. If you have rolling suitcases you can donate, please bring them to church on Sunday mornings, or click this link for other donation options. Rolling suitcases are available in abundance at our local Goodwill and ARC thrift store locations as well. If you would prefer to make a monetary donation to our partner organization, Stigma, Wash Park UMC's own Sheri and Matt Salis will use the money to buy rolling suitcases and backpacks. Let's make this the most abundant Christmas in the Park event yet! Matt Salis Author, soberevolution Executive Director, Stigma
