Maple Street UMC in Lancaster, Ohio has opened a free store which provides clothing and household items for people in need. Next to the store, they were serving their weekly Wednesday lunch. It was a busy place!
As I walked around the aisles, it felt like a little heaven was touching earth. The hungry were being fed. The poor were receiving clothes. And the people of the church were using their gifts to be a blessing to others.
I saw God's kingdom today.

Do they accept donations? Like, clothes, shoes, toys... And if they do, what is the best way to contact them?
Every once in a while, I have stuff I don't need or want anymore, but it is still usable. Normally, I donate it all to Vietnam Veterans of America, but they are not always in the area. If some things can be shipped, I'd be happy to send them whenever I get anything suitable.
I'm sure they would appreciate those types of items. You can contact them on their website at http://www.maplestreetumc.org
