We collect coats and new white cotton underwear that we donate to the Chaplaincy Service at the Harford County Detention Center for distribution to needy inmates. One of our members serves two days a week as a volunteer chaplain there.
Also, we respond to various natural disasters and the like with special offerings as required.
In addition, our unit of the United Methodist Women has a number of mission projects.
