Outreach Ministry

"Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?" Matthew 25:37-38 NIV

Holiday Outreach
KRM joins with nearly 300 rescue missions across the nation in serving The Great Thanksgiving Banquet. In Kokomo, a Banquet has been held on Thanksgiving Day at Grace United Methodist Church for 25 years, serving hundreds every year. In 2005, a second Banquet began at Trinity United Methodist Church, across the street from Garden Square on Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. In 2007, two more sites were added...Pine Valley and the Paul Phillippe Resource Center in Frankfort. At all sites KRM served 870 Thanksgiving baquet meals in 2007.

In 2007, the RED RIBBON CHRISTMAS OUTREACH provided 2,822 people throughout a six-county area with food and gifts. Volunteers wrapped presents and filled the boxes with toys, gifts and food. Just before Christmas, volunteers delivered the RED RIBBON boxes to each family.
