Make an Impact
As we seek to be the church in a hurting world, the following are different ways to make a difference through service and mission in and beyond our community
Cherry Hill Food Pantry Collection
Anytime
The Cherry Hill Food Pantry is an important resource to combat food insecurity in our local community, and we have an ongoing collection of items to stock their shelves. Needs include:
nonperishable food items
bar soap
coffee
jams and jellies (brand name only)
laundry detergent
canned tuna
Place items in our collection bin located in the breezeway by the church parking lot. You may also support the Cherry Hill Food Pantry through monetary donations made on our website or church app or by mailing a check to the church office with “Cherry Hill Food Pantry” on the memo line. Thank you for your continued support of our Mission Partner!
The Cherry Hill Food Pantry has an Amazon Wish List where you can purchase items and have them sent directly to the pantry. Click the button to access the list.

Support the work of The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), the humanitarian relief and development arm of Global Ministries. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
