Dunwoody UMC extends its reach into the community through several hands-on mission programs and projects that serve those in need with food, shelter and Christian love. This mission work is open to members and to others in the community who want to provide help and hope. Some are year-round activities while others are one-time events, yet all offer the opportunity to get involved and give back.
