In 2024, CUCC members and friends contributed 342.2 pounds of food to Urban Ministries’ food bank. Additional support was provided in the form of cash donations that allow the food bank to buy needed items in bulk.
Food bags are collected the first Sunday of each month in the narthex box. Cash donations can be made anytime through UM’s web site https://urbanmin.org/give
Food bag items:
- Canned beans (esp. black beans; also kidney, navy, etc.) NO DRIED BEANS
- Quick-cooking brown rice

- Cereals are a big need: Low-sugar cereals (Cheerios, Raisin Bran, Special K, etc.)
