MWD UMM Missions:
Pill Bottle Donations
Clean out your medicine cabinet and donate any empty pill bottles you no longer need! Matthew 25 Missionaries, a nationwide program based in Cincinnati, will reuse these bottles for two reasons: to deliver healthcare items in developing countries and to recycle for cash used to further Mathew 25 Ministries programs. This program fulfills the dual need of improving medical care in developing countries while also reducing plastics from landfills and caring for our environment. Please remove any personal labels for privacy considerations.
Acceptable collection items include:
Prescription and over-the-counter pill bottles
Large and small pill bottles
Pill bottles with and without secure caps (child resistant)
DROP-OFF LOCATION:
St. Paul UMC, 232 West Washington St.
Napoleon, OH 43545

The secretary will be there to recieve donations.

Meals for Millions & The Hunger Relief Program:
The General Commission of United Methodist Men has joined with the Society of St. Andrew and the National Association of Conference Presidents to establish the Hunger Relief Advocate Initiative. This joint effort, (the HRA Initiative) has a goal of engaging the United Methodist Church with the underprivileged using Hunger Relief Advocates. United Methodist Men provide leadership to this initiative using part-time HRA’s in every state in conjunction with volunteers from district and local UMMen groups. Find more information about this initiative, here.

Love Packages
We are looking to collect Christian reading materials you aren’t using anymore! This ministry is aimed at putting Christian literature and bibles into the hands of people around the world. We send them to ministries in poor countries who distribute them to people hungry for the Word of God. These materials that otherwise would have sat collecting dust on shelves or been thrown away is now being used to reach souls for Christ. If you have any of the materials listed below, contact MWD UMM President, edw_denny [at] yahoo.com (Denny Walker). We will be using our potato gleaning truck to collect these materials in early September.
