He believed that the poor had certain rights and that, when half the people were burdened by wealth and half by poverty, human rights had been robbed. There are many people in the life of Hughes UMC who are actively involved in serving the community by giving their time to some of the many following projects. Some of these people and many, many others give their money to support our missionaries throughout this country and the world. We are among many local churches who support development of transitional housing for impoverished people.
Help is needed on-going.
Hughes' volunteers are needed to provide outreach to new residents. This is an opportunity to put your faith into action. The local branch of this national organization is building homes in Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Poolesville for needy families. Funds and resources are being collected now for future projects. Hughes church has a food closet for people who walk in needing food year-round.
