DONATIONS NEEDED For Holiday Outreach to Homeless

The Church is getting ready to help the homeless this Holiday Season.  There will be a free Thanksgiving Day meal at the church and Christmas Backpacks are being readied for distribution to homeless individuals.  I invite you to help with these efforts.

The Imperial Beach United Methodist Church is committed to serve this local community through reaching out to those who are dealing with homelessness. 

We believe you as individual citizens and local businesses will be interested in lending a hand during this holiday season.  Donations are needed to make these holiday programs happen.  These donations are needed now so we can be ready for the holidays.
