Thank you ALL for your donations of canned and non-perishable foods for Centenary's Outreach Team to use to create Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets for those in need.

Due to COVID-19, we will be unable to have Christmas as usual. We are asking for cash donations for the Outreach Team to purchase gift cards in lieu of purchasing actual gifts. The cards will be given to the families to purchase their own gifts.

This year we have 17 Christmas families. There are 20 children under 18 and 40 adults; their ages range from 2-1/2 to 97.

We will not be able to provide gently used clothing this year.

You can make your cash donations by sending a check to Centenary UMC, P. O. Box 529, Shady Side, MD, 20784 (memo: Outreach), OR by going to the top of this page and clicking Online e-Giving. Select "Outreach" in the Fund drop-down list. Making a donation via e-Giving is so easy!

Thank you ALL for your continued support as we help those who are unable to help themselves.

Dottie and Elaine for Centenary's Outreach Team Co-Chairs.

Here is a picture showing the overwhelming response we had to this call for help.
