Your Impact

YOU impact communities

United Methodists celebrate Human Relations Day to raise awareness and strive for a community where everyone is cared for and absent of poverty, hunger and hate.

Gifts received at the special offering taken the Sunday before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday build King’s vision of “the beloved community” through programs such as Community Developers and United Methodist Voluntary Services and Youth Offender Rehabilitation Programs.
