In the United Women in Faith in Columbia United Methodist Church, we are very active in fund raising and reaching our to those in need. During this past year we held our annual Ash Wednesday Service and brunch. We collected socks and donate them to the Veterans in Lorain county at Christmas time. We collect used glasses and ship them to third world countries who can reuse them. We donate offering collections to the Columbia Food Bank, donate to the World Thank Offerings, and support our own Methodist Youth on their mission trip each year. We have donated funds to South Sudan, Haiti, and West Side Community House in Cleveland, and the Genesis House in Lorain County.  Each year is slightly different but these are good examples of monetary distributions.
