Morton Memorial
United Methodist Church

For many years, Morton Memorial's Food Ministry has faithfully served our neighbors by providing food, compassion, dignity, and hope.  From its beginnings in a small church facility, the distribution has grown to serving over 200 families monthly.  On the second Saturday of each month, 20,000 pounds of food are distributed to our neighbors from surrounding counties who are facing food insecurity.  The need is greater than ever due to cuts to government programs, and the facilities are reaching near capacity for serving.  The next step for the food mission is to build its own building, providing the space for a new iteration of service.  

This new space will allow us to:
• Expand our ability to serve neighbors in need.
• Create a shopping-style experience that can offer a sense of independence through providing the opportunity for food choice.
• Improve safety and traffic flow for volunteers and guests.
• Provide dedicated storage and operational space.
• Return Fellowship Hall to broader church and community use.
• Position the ministry for future growth and impact.
