Hurricane Relief That Makes a Real Difference at Home
We’ve seen the devastation in our area. You’ve seen the pictures of the damage to St. John United Methodist Church. But as personal as this is, we can’t help but wonder how those individuals who had no home endured the storm. St. John is the home of Downtown Cooperative Church Ministries and the Clothes Closet that distributes food and clothes to the homeless. When St. John suffers, so do these ministries. All three need help and they need it NOW.
Please consider a gift to keep these ministries going by donating to St. John Hurricane Helene Recovery Fund. Checks can be made out to St. John UMC with the fund name on the memo line.

The Clothes Closet clients have doubled in number in the last few months which increases the need for light-weight blankets and sleeping bags for the winter season. As you sort through your adult fall/winter clothes, please send those discards to the Clothes Closet. Thank you for your continued gracious support.
