SUMMARY:Easter Food Drive
DESCRIPTION:Easter Food Drive\nFebruary 22\, 2026 – April 5\, 2026\n\nWhy This Matters\nYour donations will supply food to our neighbors through our Grace Ministries food distribution and a pop-up food distribution at Hutchison Elementary School. We also support Community of Faith UMC’s food pantry and the Cornerstones Food hub. \nThis initiative is a simple but meaningful way we can step in and help meet a practical need. \n\nWhat We’re Collecting\nIn response to the rise in food insecurity\, from February 22 through April 5\, Floris UMC will host a food drive to run the next several weeks Nov 16-Dec 14. Our goal is to get 100 of each item to use for a pop up food distribution at Hutchison ES .  Below is our preferred list of items. \nShopping List \n\nBag of Rice 1lb up to 5lb Bags\nPeanut Butter\nJelly\n5lb Bag of MASA\nSpaghetti 1lb\nSpaghetti Sauce Jars\nCanned Vegetables/Beans\nCanned Fruit\nCanned Chicken/Tuna\n24oz Cooking Oil\n\nThere will be blue bins available to collect these items in the gathering space Monday – Thursday 8:30am – 4:00pm and Sunday 7:00am – 1:00pm/ \n\nHow Your Donation Makes an Impact\nYour donation helps: \n\nStock pantry shelves for foster families\nReduce grocery expenses for caregivers\nSupport teens aging out of foster care\nEnsure reliable\, nutritious meals are available\n\nWhile a single can may feel small\, collective generosity adds up quickly. When we come together as a community\, we create real and lasting impact. \n\nHow to Participate\nBring your canned goods to the designated collection area anytime between February 22 and April 5\, 2026. \nConsider setting a reminder\, inviting your family to contribute\, or organizing a small group effort to maximize your impact. \nTogether\, we can offer more than food — we can offer care\, support\, and hope to our neighbors.

SUMMARY:Western North Carolina Mission Trip
DESCRIPTION:Western North Carolina Mission Trip \nFor over two decades\, Floris United Methodist Church has been answering the call to serve communities impacted by natural disasters. From hurricanes and flooding to tornadoes\, our mission teams have brought hope and help to areas across the country. Now\, we invite you to be part of our next journey—our Western North Carolina Mission Trip. \nFloris UMC has sent more than 60 teams to disaster-stricken areas in states like Mississippi\, Florida\, South Carolina\, North Carolina\, Kentucky\, New Jersey\, and New York. Over 600 volunteers have rolled up their sleeves\, built homes\, cleared debris\, and most importantly\, offered compassion to those in need. This work continues as long as there are communities in need of recovery. \nOur next UMVIM Team to Western North Carolina is March 22–27. Would you be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ for the thousands of folks displaced by the remnants of Hurricane Helene? Whether you are skilled in construction or have little or no experience\, your willingness to help will make a great difference. \nAll missioners must be 18+ or 16–18 if accompanied by a parent or designated chaperone\, and there’s no upper age limit—just bring your heart and hands ready to serve! From teens to retirees\, our teams are made up of people who simply want to make a tangible impact in the lives of others. \nJoin us as we continue this important work. Be the hands and feet of Christ in North Carolina. Come ready to work\, to serve\, and to grow in faith and fellowship. \nSign up or ask questions: Tim Wells\, cyacard@comcast.net\, 703-517-0183 \nREGISTER NOW!Dates: March 22–27\, 2026
