Our relationship with the Leavenworth Mission at 1140 Spruce provides food to people. The food pantry is held multiple times a month.  Through a suggestion by FUMCL, we started one night a month where people can pick up food after work.  FUMCL provides deliveries to apartments.  We also help with their recycling.  The donation of a laptop helped with administration.  We also support Trinity House, the food pantry at Trinity Lutheran Church at 2101 S. 10th Avenue.

Deeper Windows Association supports and advocates for people living with dementia and their care partners.  While they were dormant due to pandemic restrictions in the past, FUMCL was able wot work with them on several opportunities.  Our commercial kitchen is used to help create baked goods for an annual bake sale that net over $45k.  That’s a lot of cookies and cakes!

A school partnership developed with Anthony school that includes encouraging notes for staff, food distribution, Christmas angel tree for needy families, book fair purchase, staff appreciation meals and cookies & milk for the entire school.

FUMC expands our partnership with the following mission partners through time, talent and treasure:  Backpack Buddies, St. Vincent Clinic, Samaritans Buffet, Community of Hope homeless shelter, Council on Aging, Seventh Street Feast – community-wide Thanksgiving meal, Anthony Elementary school and Leavenworth & Lansing High Schools.

We’re partnering with the HUB, a United Methodist mission in Argentine, by collecting supplies for their free food and necessities pantry.  The church’s response has been amazing. This year we’ve taken carloads full of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner.  Thank you for your generosity.  In May we are continuing to collect any type of canned beans, soup and ramen noodles. Drop donations in the wooden chest in the foyer or in the church office.
