The pastor and congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Martin recognized a need for such a program, and it was later expanded. In 1990, WE CARE became an ecumenical ministry. The support for WE CARE presently comes from churches of several denominations. The also serve on the WE CARE Board of Directors and its committees. Without our volunteers this ministry could not exist.
Volunteers are truly the heartbeat of the success of our ministry.
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well please. Good Samaritan Store sales help provide the funds. Food is given out every month as needed. Money is used for maintenance and the Direct Aid fund. Most of the clients WE CARE has are through referrals from the Department of Human Services and other agencies.
