Floris UMC depends on donated items from our congregation and friends in the community to serve the hungry, homeless and poor in and around Herndon. We promise to be good stewards of your gifts by supplying them, at no cost, directly to those who need them most. While there are many organizations ready and willing to accept your donations, we appreciate your partnering with us to bring these items to those in need in our community.
Goods donated to Floris UMC are distributed to the community through a variety of channels:
- GRACE Ministries: This program offers food, clothing and diapers to families in need.
- Help Hungry Kids Program: This program serves students at Hutchison and McNair Elementary Schools.
All donated goods are tax deductible as allowed by the IRS and state tax code. You may obtain a receipt for tax purposes when you drop off your donations.
Floris UMC is currently unable to accept other kinds of donated goods as part of our ongoing charitable programs. We sometimes hold special drives to collect relief items when natural disasters or other tragedies strike. You can learn about these efforts by checking our website regularly.
