Outreach Team
The Outreach Team of First UMC leads our community in aiding those who are in need. We work together with a number of different groups such as businesses, other churches of various denominations and individuals. And in 2012, together we assisted almost 19,000 people who lived either in DeKalb or surrounding counties. The largest group assisted is young parents with their children and second is Senior Adults, many of whom are raising their grandchildren. This assistance has included food that is canned, fresh, and frozen as well as: assistance in utility bills or rent; finding housing for families that were homeless; guiding individuals as they worked to get their GED; helping with groups or organizations that could bring them additional forms of assistance. If you desire to be of assistnace please call 1-615-507-4961 or email us at smithumc@dtccom.net
