Church loan provides kitchen greater outreach

ANDERSON, Ind. - In the tiny kitchen of the South Anderson United Methodist Church, a group of faithful members has served God with many outreach projects through the years.

Now, through the Indiana United Methodist Loan Fund, they can work without stepping on each other's toes in a renovated and expanded kitchen.

Each Wednesday evening the members of South Anderson UMC provide a free meal for the Kids Club, the youth group, Bible study groups and anyone who would like to join them. Wednesday is a busy night for this volunteer crew. They also reach beyond the people that are able to come to the church by preparing and delivering meals to shut-ins.

Fundraising meals have always been a part of these servant ministries. Now they would like to raise funds to pay for the kitchen renovation and expansion.

The next plans for the new kitchen include free Thanksgiving dinners for the homeless shelter and the women's shelter in Anderson.

For more information about the Indiana United Methodist Loan Fund, log on to niumf.org or call toll free 800-783-5138.

The Indiana United Methodist Loan Fund, Inc. is a non-profit organization that exists to provide a reliable, available, and affordable source of loan funds for building and remodeling projects while offering stable investments that yield steady income.
