Meet the Need Ministry

 

The HMUMC Men's Ministry helps support the Meet the Need Ministry, which provides homeless men in our area a safe place to live and an introduction to Christian doctrine. They also help the men get back on their feet and find a job. This ministry helps many men who otherwise would be living on the streets in our area.  The "leaders" of this ministry are devout and dedicated Christians, Jane and Rene Alvarez. They have just opened a Thrift Shop to help pay for the expenses of this mission. We ask the help of our HMUMC family through their donations of unwanted items such as appliances, furniture, household items and clothing. The Thrift Shop is located at 100 Hurricane Shoals Rd., Lawrenceville, GA at the intersection of Collins Hill Rd. If you have items to pick up, please call the store at 770-616-4148.
