Our mission is to meet children's needs in our community while encouraging and developing Christ-centered and church-involved relationships with their families.
Blessings for Children, a Shalimar UMC mission outreach to community families with children ages newborn through 5th grade. Operating since January 2019 out of #10 2nd Street, behind the church, we are open every Wednesday from 12:00-3:30 p.m. Our volunteers will seek to share God’s love and serve His children in need by providing clothing, personal care items, school supplies, Christ-centered materials, and church event invitations to families who visit our ministry.
