Midwest Mission Distribution Center

Downers Grove FUMC returns to the Midwest Mission Distribution Center in Chatham, Illinois from March 2 to 4. The distribution center offers an opportunity for us to serve in our area and reach those in need around the world. It’s been just over a year since the devastating earthquake in Haiti and there is still need for support there as well as other countries throughout the world. Last year our group prepared much needed health kits for those in need. We also sorted and prepared basic necessities for packaging and shipping. There are a variety of projects to work on throughout the facility. Our help is needed as United Methodists reach out to aid the people around the world.

This Trip is open to adults and family members 11 years of age or older. The Center is located on an 8 acre campus in Chatham, IL, 4 miles south of Springfield with overnight accommodations on site. We will leave in the evening, Wednesday March 2nd and return Friday afternoon. To reserve your spot for this upcoming trip, contact Jim Gracey.
