The Coalition was overwhelmed with donations and is no longer holding the winter clothing drive. Thanks to everyone who donated from us and the coalition.
Family Promise: In cooperation with several churches, we provide housing, meals, and transportation for local homeless families, often mother and children who are in transition as the partners work towards having a permanent home. We host these families in the church for a week every quarter. Volunteers prepare and serve meals, stay overnight with the families, or transport the families to work and school.

Southern Pines United Methodist Church considers itself to be not only a church in the Sandhills but one that is also part of the community. To be part of this community means that we are actively engaged and interested in what happens around us--the rhythms of daily life, the events, the culture. More than that, though, it means we are interested in the folks who we see, meet, and with whom we associate. We consider it a privilege to serve those very people as a community of faith. Below you will find some of the ways we are involved in helping to meet the needs of those with whom we share life.
