First United Methodist Church of Anchorage has may ongoing Mission and Outreach opportunities that everyone can participate in. Here are a few: Alaska Families Against Domestic Violence-Drop off journals that we can then take to the AWAIC shelter. Journaling is a way of accelerating personal development by getting your thought out of your head and putting them down on paper; validating your feelings and ideas. Hungry Tummies-drop off healthy (individually wrapped) snacks that can be given to children the after-school program at one of our local schools. During the summer these snacks will be donated to a variety of other shelters in the Anchorage area. Welcome Baskets for Alaska Children's Services-ACS is a residential treatment center for both boys and girls ranging from ages 6-19; most if the students are between the ages of 13-17. When a new child enters the center they are presented with a welcome basket. These baskets are constantly needing to be replenished! The items are needed are: Reusable Water Bottles Nerf Hoops (over the door) Small Blank Note Cards (gender neutral colors) Sock Monkeys Stuffed Animals Body Wash (different scents are appreciated; boys prefer Axe or "manly scented" and girls vanilla or "girly scented") Small Non-Spiral Notebooks (gender neutral colors) Medium Size Gift Bags Fleece Blankets All donations can be dropped off at the church Monday-Friday 9:00-2:00 or Sunday 8:00-12:00. |
