The Cicero United Methodist Church strives to be present in out community and offers service to those in need.
A big thank you to all who donated coats and jackets for our kids’ coat giveaway in November. Many were brand new, with the tags still attached! These were distributed to local families through school personnel and were very much appreciated.
Thank you to St. Pauly Textiles (who operate the clothing donation shed) for their gift of $50 to provide Christmas dinner for a local family in need. These funds were used to purchase a Price Chopper gift card for a young widow with a daughter who attends Bear Road Elementary School.
With the generous support of our United Methodist Women’s group and funds from our Fall Bake Sale, the Community Outreach Team provided much needed school clothing and Christmas gifts for a North Syracuse family with four children, ages 9, 11, 13 & 18.
The Community Outreach Team continues to supply local elementary school nurse offices with socks, underwear, sweatpants and basic hygiene supplies for students in need. Through an arrangement with the Cicero Kinney Drug Store, we also assist families with the purchase of Lice Kits, as this is an ongoing problem in the schools.
The Community Outreach Team will be conducting a Gertrude Hawk Chocolates fundraiser in the month of February. We will receive 50% of total sales and fund s raised will be used to assist local children and famlies in need. Orders will be taken in the Welcome Center on a Bevruary Sunday to be determined, or please contact one of our team members.
Plans will soon be underway for our “Be the Church” Sunday this spring.
Please call Diane Ilacqua at 458-5501 if you would like to be involved.
