FOOD PANTRY

Our Food Pantry is open every Wednesday, 3:00-6:00 pm.

We provide emergency food for the community.

BACKPACK PROGRAM

The Mission Team in conjunction with the UMW Sunshine Circle is continuing the backpack feeding program for Smyrna Elementary School children who are “food insecure.” Food insecure means children, who participate in the free or reduced price lunch program, including homeless children, may or may not have anything to eat on weekends. Gallon size food bags contain 2 breakfast items, 2 lunch/dinner items, 2 snacks, and 2 drinks, and are sent home in the children’s backpacks each weekend.

DISASTER RELIEF

UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) alleviates human suffering, whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster. UMCOR operates throughout the world and the US.  

RISE AGAINST HUNGER

Smyrna First is joining the movement to end hunger by 2030 by holding an annual food packaging event, feeding approximately 10,000 people.  The food packages will be shipped internationally to the most vulnerable.  This project is sponsored by the Senior Adult ministries of the church.
