Your Impact

YOU impact communities

United Methodists observe Human Relations Day to raise awareness and work toward creating a world where everyone is cared for and free from poverty, hunger and hate.

A special offering is collected on the Sunday before Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. These gifts help bring King’s vision of “the beloved community” to life through initiatives like Community Developers, United Methodist Voluntary Services and Youth Offender Rehabilitation Programs.

Your generosity stirs hope in building a beloved community.
