Madison UMC delivered 1,912 cans of corn to MadCAAP to be included in Thanksgiving boxes to over 700 families and elderly who live in poverty in Madison County. Remember that the need will continue after Thanksgiving. Just imagine what could happen if every attendee on each Sunday would bring 1 can to donate. Those who have little or nothing to eat would have food on their tables! The push to gather food will continue, as we work with Christ to end hunger in Madison County one can at a time.
