It's not me. It's not any one person. It's the volunteers who have made the organization. I've never seen a group like this. The new group serves about 100 families a month, providing food and clothing and financial help with their rent and utility bills.
Some volunteers also help with major home repairs.
United Christian Volunteers formed last spring after Mrs. Baynum and about 70 other volunteers left Erlanger-Elsmere United Ministries during a major reorganization of that larger agency. The split was acrimonious, with criticism and hurt feelings on both sides. But volunteers at both agencies say they don't want to dwell on the past. They want to move on. The church, which once used the building for office and storage space, is donating its use and paying its utility bills.
