Local missions
HOPE CENTER OF EDMOND
Helping Our People in Emergencies. (HOPE) Help meet the basic needs of the people in the community who are having personal emergencies or crises. It is difficult enough to ask for help, but imagine how hard it would be to have to go to every church in town to get enough assistance to pay a utility bill. The combined support of many of the churches, businesses, and individuals in the community means that they have the resources to provide food, clothing, and financial assistance from a single community agency.
project 66 food and resource center
Project 66 is a non-profit, faith-based ministry providing food to families in need in Edmond, Arcadia, and the surrounding communities. It is an affiliate of the Regional Food Bank. Edmond FUMC volunteers assist Project 66 in providing families with basic food to last for two weeks. The organization is entirely dependent on donations and volunteerism is essential.
