Communities in Schools of North Texas partners each spring with FUMC Denton to provide food baskets for Denton ISD families whose children depend on the school breakfast and lunch programs for meals when school is in session. Feeding children during spring break, March 14-18 and March 21, 2022, is a challenge for food insecure families. Our Mission Corner goal in February is to provide grocery store gift cards for five families at each school served by a CISNT case manager. These schools include Rivera Elementary School, Bettye Myers Middle School, Ryan High School and quite a few others. We have chosen Kroger and Walmart because their locations are proximate to all of the relevant DISD schools. We chose these amounts so gift cards may be distributed to families with 1 to 7 children.

To participate, you may:

• Give Kroger or Walmart gift cards in the amount of $50 or a component of $50 ($5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $30, etc.). Please write the amount the gift card is worth on the gift card before donating. Drop gift cards off in any worship space on Sunday mornings or at the Ivey Garden entrance to FUMC Denton during business hours.

• Donate money through fumcdenton.com/give and select “General Missions” from the drop-down menu or mail checks to FUMC Denton. Designate funds to general mission with "February Mission Corner” in the memo line both online and via check.
