Missions

SuperPack Mission Mondays
Traditionally, Dunwoody UMC has assembled lunches for students that receive a free or reduced-price lunch through their school, but are at-risk of missing this meal during the Summer. We used to assemble these lunches on Monday nights at the church, and called the event “Mission Mondays.” This year, our partner organization (HOPE Atlanta) has requested larger meal kits (called “SuperPacks”) that can feed a student all week, thus allowing them to change from daily delivery to a weekly distribution. We need 12 volunteers to assemble 200 “SuperPacks” per build. This is a great all-ages event and usually takes only an hour. We will meet in the church gym from 6:30pm-7:30pm on the following dates. We will need delivery drivers on Wednesday, July 13th. Please contact Chris Mixer at chris.mixer@dunwoodyumc.org if interested or for more information. Register HERE for July 11th!
