Serve in the Community

Dunwoody UMC is supporting the CAC’s main location in Sandy Springs by providing volunteers for the Mini-Market food pantry and the Upscale Thrift clothing shop. At least Fifteen volunteers per month are needed on the fourth Saturday of each month to serve the needy in our community. Some positions require some prior training with CAC staff, while others do not. If you want to train on the advanced positions, please contact Anne Hicks for more information. Volunteer HERE.

DUMC sponsors Hightower Elementary School. Volunteers tutor underprivileged students after school four days a week through the Homework Help Club in conjunction with Corners Outreach. For more information you can contact church member and volunteer Rich Reynell or Corners Outreach.

BPBMA has a mission to provide weekend meals to food-insecure children in the Metro Atlanta area to enhance their mental and physical health. Dunwoody UMC is supporting that mission as a Community Buddy. Each week DUMC will have volunteers pick up nonperishable food from the BPBMA warehouse here in Dunwoody. The food is delivered to DUMC and packed by volunteers to be taken to area elementary schools for students to take home for the weekend so that they have food to replace the meals they would receive at school during the week. There are three different opportunities: picking up food and delivering it to DUMC for packing, packing meals (approximately 35 meals), or delivering packed meals to Dunwoody Elementary. There are specific times for some jobs and others have some flexibility. Check DCB for more information or contact Bo Lane for details. Register HERE.

Trinity UMC in Atlanta hosts Trinity Table each week. Dunwoody UMC supports Trinity with a meal on the third Sunday in March and fourth Sunday in August. DUMC provides both a hot meal and to-go meals to approximately 150 individuals in the Capitol Hill neighborhood downtown. It takes several volunteers to deliver the meals and serve to the guests of Trinity Table.

DUMC supports Wellroot Family Services with babysitting, respite care and/or fostering a child. We hold regular information and orientation sessions. Please contact Rosemary Watts for more information or to schedule a session.
