UNITED METHODIST HOME FOR CHILDREN 

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

May’s mission is the United Methodist Home for Children. in Mechanicsburg. For over 90 years, UMCH has provided a caring environment for Central Pennsylvania’ children in need. Originally a home for orphans, today the Home is a refuge for children who are the victims of a negative social environment. 

Each year, UMHC provides residential treatment for scores of children on our beautiful 56-acre campus in Cumberland County. Children are referred to the Home primality by county children and youth agencies and family courts. For a variety of reasons these children and youth are unable to live with their families or in community foster care placements.

June requests:

Pencils, sharpeners, erasers, pens, blunt scissors, small rulers, pencil pouch, etc.

Notebooks, composition books, SOLAR calculators

ALL YEAR—Monetary donations (must notate Operation Christmas Child-OCC on the memo line of the check), empty shoeboxes, old clean T-shirts to be made into jump ropes (stained is fine, but no tears)
