Our Mobile Resource Center provides resources to guests at Fourth Avenue UMC’s Open Door Community Ministry. We load up the St Paul bus and distribute new underwear, socks, and t-shirts, gently-used shoes and clothing, hygiene items, and bottled water to those in need. So far, we have served approximately 50-75 people at each event.
The Mobile Resource Center and our partnership with Fourth Avenue UMC was highlighted on the Kentucky Conference website. Read the article here.
Please enjoy the following video, which provides an overview of the services provided by the Resource Center, St. Paul’s primary outreach to the Louisville community.
Volunteer!
WE NEED YOU! We need about 14-16 volunteers at each Mobile Resource Center for it to run as smoothly as possible.
Volunteers will help with set-up and tear-down, as well as distributing our resources to Open Door’s guests. We also need a few volunteers to help load and unload the bus before and after the event.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this event, please sign up here:
