L AKEWOOD UMW MISSIONS
FUNDRAISING
THROUGH THE YEARS…
The Lakewood UMW’s principal fundraiser is the annual Spring UMW Garage sale. By turning “trash” into “treasures”, we have netted over $150,000 in the past five years. These proceeds are used to support a variety of local and international women mission projects.
Lakewood UMW continues to support a wide range of missions, from local and regional, to national and international causes. The Lakewood UMW supports our congregation through: Student Ministries Matthew 25:35 Ministry Matzke Elementary Northwest Assistance Ministries Wesley Community Center Boys and Girls Country Habitat for Humanity African Aids Orphans UMCOR Our unit consistently contributes to mission projects such as hygiene kits and school supply bags. Our Alternative Gifts Market is available throughout the year with special emphasis in December. These are just a few of the many ways through which UMW actively participates in the global ministries of the Church.
