Opportunities for Community Service
Helping Hands Food Bank
Helping Hands Food Bank is a service of the First Methodist Church of Tupelo. UUC Tupelo is collecting items for donation to the food bank. In response to a need at Helping Hands, we are collecting personal care items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo), diabetic items (low-sugar foods, sugar substitutes, etc.), quick-prep. food items for kids (cereals, frozen popsicles), disposable diapers (#3 size), "pull-ups". As always, any canned foods, pasta, rice, beans, etc., are also needed. Members of our Congregation volunteer their labor one Saturday in four to help interview applicants, pack grocery donation boxes and bags which are distributed to qualified needy individuals and families. We work with "Team 4" and serve every 4th Saturday.
