CUMC donates to the local Food Pantry
Kudos to our CUMC Gleaning Team who recently harvested and delivered 1,530 lbs of potatoes to the Branch Area Food Pantry.
What is gleaning? Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested or on fields where it is not economically profitable to harvest. It is a practice described in the Hebrew Bible that became a legally enforced entitlement of the poor in a number of Christian kingdoms.

Celebrating over 10 years of providing FREE meals
Over ten years ago, on July 10, 2008, the Coldwater UMC began serving free meals to those in need or desiring fellowship. Known as the Mary & Martha Diner, the church has served nearly 5,200 meals annually. A different meal is served every Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. The church has been blessed with volunteers who share in the joy of serving others but always welcomes new volunteers.
CUMC partners with Backpack Buddies
Our church donates to the Backpack Buddies program. The Backpack Buddies program provides food to school children in need. If you would like to donate, items can be dropped off at church Monday-Thursday from 9:00 am to 3:00 p.m. Please contact the office for the most recent list of items to be collected.
CUMC sends volunteers to MMDC
Members of the Coldwater United Methodist Church spent three days volunteering at the Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Illinois. The Distribution Center works in partnership with the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and helps provide disaster relief, education and medical supplies to those in need locally, nationally and internationally.
