Our HOPE Serves Days are the 2nd Saturday of each month. These serve days include a variety of service projects around our campus and off campus to benefit our own ministries as well as local non-profits. Please contact Colleen Tenney ctenney@cpumc.org for more information or volunteer opportunites.
In this unpresidented time of need, we are partnering with local organizations who are serving members of our community directly. We are collecting non-perishable items and gently used clothing for the Christian Service Center, United Against Poverty, and One Heart for Women and Children. We are also collecting $10 & $20 gift cards to Publix and WalMart to donate to community needs. We have opportunities in place to serve in person if you feel comfortable to do so. Please contact Colleen Tenney ctenney@cpumc.org for more information or volunteer opportunites.
