The GUMC Food Bank is open to anyone in need of assistance and we are also currently distributing USDA* items to those who qualify. The distribution is on the THIRD Thursday of each month from 9:00-10:00 a.m. and is currently being offered as a "drive-thru" service. Participants are asked to line up in the Family Life Center parking lot lcoated at 15 W. El Paso Street, and to please be curteous in regard to not blocking our neighbors' driveways.
Inclement Weather Policy:
Whenever the Greenwood Public Schools close for inclement weather, Greenwood United Methodist Church will also be closed. If a closing falls on a regular distribution date, the GUMC Food Bank distribution will be moved to the following Thursday.
If you would like to volunteer with the GUMC Food Bank, contact the church office at (479) 996-6397.
Donations to help support the Food Bank ministry may be made online via our "Giving" tab.
