Angel Tree/Salvation Army
Salvation Army’s goal is to assist parents through the Angel Tree Program to provide gifts for their children during the Christmas season. The plan for the Loudoun Salvation Army is to provide gifts to approximately 1350 children this year. They rely on help from the community to reach their goal. Harmony will be collecting unwrapped gifts to donate. There will be a box in the social hall for toys, bedding, and clothing, beginning November 28. Gifts must be dropped off by December 15. See Marcey Kellogg with questions. More information can be found at: https://loudoun.salvationarmypotomac.org/loudoun-county/angel-tree/
Merchant Card Program
One of the fundraisers that the church participates in is the Merchant Card Program. For every merchant (gift) card sold, the church receives a percentage. For example, if you purchase a $25 Amazon gift card, the church will receive 1.5%, a $25 Walmart card gives the church 2.5% . We have a list of different restaurants, stores, and even gas stations, to choose from. If you would like to see the list and are interested in purchasing for birthdays, holidays, graduation, etc., please contact Robin in the church office.

Little Pantry
In preparation for CY 2026 (which will be here before we know it!), Missions is looking for stewards to restock and manage the Ted Cody Memorial Food Pantry. We are so thankful for those who have volunteered in the past to help with this flexible time commitment mission at HUMC. When you sign up for a month, you are asked to please check the pantry on Sunday or the beginning of the week to see if food needs to be added and later in the week (Wednesday or Thursday). Restock the pantry as needed with 3 to 4 breakfast/dinner/snack items. Judy Fry and Roxanne Tipton will continue to keep our food cabinet (in the stairwell behind the kitchen) full for stocking the pantry. If it should happen to get low during your month, just call, text, or email Judy or Roxanne.
