The Meade County Clothes Closet and Food Pantry provides food and clothing to those in need. There is a  collection box at church for nonperishable food items for the Food Pantry. The Clothes Closet is open to all. Proceeds from the sale of Clothes Closet items are then used to purchase items for the food pantry for Meade County families in need. BUMC has scheduled volunteer weeks throughout the year, but volunteers are always welcome.  For more information, please  call 270-422-2010.

The Meade County Angel Ministry is a year round service that tends to the needs of underprivileged children within our county. At Christmas time, we are extremely busy ensuring that all our more than 1,300 angels have everything they need to "survive" winter, and extra hands are always needed to work at the North Pole. Volunteering isn't the only way to lend a hand. Collecting items in your Sunday School class, youth group or Bible study group is an excellent way to help. Our Angels range in age from newborn to 18, and this span of ages and sizes makes for an endless list of needs. 

During the school year, we work very closely with the Family Resource Centers at every Meade County school. The Ministry helps provide school supplies, clothing, shoes, and even grocery store gift cards for students in need. You can support the Ministry by taking part in our fundraisers and collection drives, purchasing our apparel line at Save-Rite Pharmacy and adopting our Angels. We are completely volunteer driven, and 100% of funds raised go back into our community. We believe that investing in our children is the best way to bring about a positive change in our future.
