This Christmas season you can help provide shelter to a homeless child and his/her family. UMOM New Day Centers work to eliminate homelessness, one family at a time. By purchasing UMOM cards this Christmas Season, you can support the job UMOM is doing to rebuild the lives of homeless families. Last year, UMOM served a diverse population of more than 6,000 individuals through a broad network of services including safe shelter and food; health screenings, care for children, and counseling and development of work skills for adults. UMOM offers a hand-up rather than a handout to those who have fallen victim to challenging times. The best news is that UMOM is a temporary place for families, and within months, most people are back on their feet again. $15-provides 1 night of shelter for an individual $50-provides 1 day of shelter, food and childcare for a child $100-provides 1 week of shelter to an individual $360-provides 1 month of shelter for an individual Each donation comes with a card and an insert describing your gift of shelter. The purchase of these cards can help you qualify for a tax credit on your 2017 Arizona state taxes of up to $400 per person or $800 per couple. Your assistance will give shelter to children and families. UMOM Cards will be available from the church office, as well as being sold before the Saturday service and before and after Sunday services beginning December 3. Checks can be made to SHUMC or UMOM. The church will send one check for contributions of cash and checks made to the Church; checks made payable to UMOM will be sent directly to UMOM and will not appear on your annual statement from the Church.
2 Thanksgiving and Christmas are when we pause to give special thanks to God for the blessings we have received. This season, the Mission and Outreach Committee is combining the Thanksgiving and Christmas offerings into one giving opportunity. The following ministries will receive your generous gifts: UMOM New Day Center and Valley View Community Food Bank.
