COLLECTION
SITE
As of July 2026, we are officially a Permanent Collection Site for Midwest Mission. Midwest Mission is a part of the North Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. They collect and distribute items related to disaster relief, health, education, and microbusinesses. They work with United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) which collects and distributes items around the US. Midwest Mission is designed to be a local branch of UMCOR, while also working in areas beyond what UMCOR does.
​
The links below open up information about the many different items that Midwest Mission collects and the opportunities to join them in mission and ministry. As a collection site, churches in southern Indiana, Ohio, and beyond bring their items to us, and then we make arrangements to get those items to the main depot location in Pawnee, Illinois (about 4.5 hours from here).
