OCTOBER FOOD DRIVE FOR FRESH BEGINNINGS. Mark your calendars! In October, we will support Fresh Beginnings and its Fall Food Drive. Fresh Beginnings is aiming to provide Thanksgiving dinner boxes to 1,400 needy families. This is a monumental task! We would like to help in reaching this lofty goal. Once again, we reach out to those less fortunate. We will be collecting October 12-26. You may leave food items in the church office Tuesday-Thursday from 9am-3pm and Friday 9am-1pm. Alternately, you can leave food items in the Narthex on Sunday mornings.

The following items are needed for each box:

Cake mix
Ready-made frosting
Stuffing mix
Canned cranberry sauce (regular size)
Canned yams (14 oz)
Cream of chicken soup (regular size)
Gravy mix
Dry mashed potatoes

Thank you in advance for your generous food donations to help local families celebrate Thanksgiving!

RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE – November 10 from 10 am-4 pm

The Missions Committee will be hosting our monthly Red Cross Blood Drive in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up online at redcrossblood.org. A donation time will be provided.

THANK YOU—At the September 29 blood drive in Fellowship Hall, 18 people donated and 20 pints of blood were collected—enough to help save up to 60 lives in local hospitals.

Thank you for your continued support. MVUMC has donated more than 500 gallons.

UPCOMING MISSION BUCKS

OCTOBER MISSION BUCKS will support Fresh Beginnings, a faith based, multi-denominational, volunteer organization in Orange County that provides assistance to those experiencing homelessness and near homelessness, including veterans and their families. Basic needs such as food, personal hygiene items, access to local shelters, education in job interview skills, and basic computer skill programs are offered. The organization extends compassion and goodwill to all regardless of race, religion, or ethnicity.
