July Mission Offering

Claire’s Critter Closet is an important mission of our church that was created in honor of Claire Hornby and her love for animals! CCC has provided 138 individuals this year with dog and cat food and supplies (litter, food, leashes, treats, etc.) who are going through financial difficulties. It helps keep people and their pets together and fed during hard times.

You can also donate items such as dry/wet food, litter, treats, toys, etc. for dogs and cats. Have open/used products that your animal did not like or has outgrown? We take those too!

Throughout the month of June, donate loose change, put cash in the small brown envelopes, memo a check, or donate online under fund name: Claire's Critter Closet

Remember that the Mission Offering must be clearly marked. Either write a note on your check or use the brown envelopes in the back of the pew. Just loose change in the offering plate will not go to the monthly offering.

Throughout the years our congregation has supported the local mission, The Open Door. Our Personal Needs Closet has supplied toiletries, and the UWF is delivering weekly lunches. The Open Door is a resource for those recently released from jail.

UMW New Mission Project

UWF continues its meal mission at Open Door. We'll make sandwiches once a week for its clients. If you can help or want additional information, please call Barbara R. at 715-205-4622. Thank you, FUMC for your support!
