Opportunities To Serve
MORE HELP FOR THE FOOD PANTRY
Our aluminum can recycling receptacle sits adjacent to the waste area at the southwest corner of the church parking lot. The money earned through can recycling is used for food pantry supplies--often meat, but also cleaning supplies people cannot buy with food stamps. The food you donate to our Welcome Center grocery cart helps so many people in the area. Thank you for your ongoing support!
CENTENARY "CARES" FREE MEAL PROGRAM
Centenary Cares is a volunteer program at Centenary Methodist Church in St. Louis. Centenary provides lunch for the area homeless. Since September of 2006 Wentzville Church as been helping to prepare, serve and clean up on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. This program is growing steadily. They now serve a light breakfast and plan to add an evening meal.
