The United Methodist Church has had an outreach to the hungry and poor in the Tulsa area for thirty years. The outreach center is Restore Hope Ministries and their mission is to restore families in financial crisis to economic and spiritual vitality. Providing food is an important part of this vital ministry. During 2009 Asbury collected more than 67,367 pounds of food. This year’s goal is to collect 75,000 pounds! Never has the need been more critical. Restore Hope has been blessed with generous support. Churches, individuals, and charitable foundations have stepped up. But, even with their earnest efforts, Restore Hope is struggling to maintain its food supply.

Most of us have been blessed beyond words with God’s love and grace for which we are eternally grateful. God’s desire and plea is the same - “Don’t forget the poor, the weak, the hungry, or the stranger.” Please extend God’s love to the hungry among us. Remember, that in whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord.

On this day people can donate in a variety of ways. They can bring food to the trailer in the west parking lot. They can make a donation in cash or by check at the tables set up in the foyer. They may also go to Sam’s to purchase food/supplies and leave them at Sam’s.  We will have volunteers at Sam’s taking items and loading them on pallets. Checks should be made out to Asbury United Methodist Church with a notation for Restore Hope Food Drive.

Tables will also be set up at the three entrances on January 24 & 31 for early donations.
