Christmas Eve Offering

Ashe County Partnership for Children

The Ashe County Partnership for Children supports the local community by providing resources for children and families in need. In collaboration with HUMC’s Stepping Stones Preschool, the partnership is helping replace essential classroom materials that were lost during Hurricane Helene. This special initiative is supported by our preschoolers, who have been fundraising all month. As a gesture of support, the Missions Committee has designated half of this year’s Christmas Eve offering to go toward this important project. If you’d like to contribute, you can see the handprints of those who have already donated, displayed at the top of the ramp.

Harrisburg Crisis Assistance Ministry Food Pantry

For many years, HUMC has partnered with the Harrisburg Crisis Assistance Ministry (HCAM) to address food insecurity in our community. The need continues to grow, but through your generosity, the Food Pantry is able to do more than provide food — it offers hope, dignity, and a reminder that no one has to face life’s challenges alone. Every bag of groceries distributed and every warm smile shared makes a tangible difference. Your support—whether through financial donations, volunteer efforts, or spreading the word—helps turn compassion into action, nourishing both bodies and hearts, and strengthening our community.
