Volunteer Opportunities Serving the Community

NIGHTLY AS NEEDED

The blizzard and subsequent sub-zero temperatures place our houseless siblings in danger of frostbite and worse.

In collaboration with The Lawrence Community Shelter, and the City/County, First United Methodist and two other churches, University Church of Christ and Jesus Community Church of the Nazarene have opened as Overflow Shelters.

What FUMC does:  The FUMC shelter is the designated Overflow Emergency Shelter. Up to 25 of our neighbors are provided a simple supper and breakfast, a cot, pillow, and blanket.  We open the doors and begin checking in at 8:00 pm and all must depart by 8:00 am the following morning, except on Jubilee Café days, Tuesday and Friday. 

First Church Volunteers needed for “Standby” shifts.
