Arlington UMC Collecting Items for UMCOR Cleaning Kits

We are asking for your help! UMCOR is still not able to have volunteers on campus. There has already been flooding in Louisiana, and hurricane season just around the corner, so we need to act now. It’s time to get truly creative with our mission.  Arlington UMC has set a goal and we are asking for your help to reach it. We are pledging 300 cleaning buckets to Sager Brown UMCOR by June 21^st.  How can you help? We are hoping you can help with items to create the buckets or cash donations.  Arlington is already working to get the 5-gallon buckets we need donated. We are asking you to help and participate by bringing items to the Arlington church gym on June 17^th and 18^th. We have a group of people who have been to the Depot several times, so we will put the buckets together and then a smaller team will drive to Baldwin for the drop off. Click Here for a list of cleaning items. Please pick items from the list and email or call with what your church can donate.  Together we’re better!
