Empty Bowls - Feeding the Hungry

Do not miss out on Wesley House's event this Friday, October 19, 2018,  from 11 am - 2pm. Bowls will be $20, there will be soup, tours and a silent auction. All proceeds go to our emergency food pantry.

This is the third time I have purchased an "empty" bowl that was created by a local artist. Each piece is unique and beautiful. My purchase of a $25 bowl (pre-sale)  allows Wesley House to purchase 6 1/2 meals from Kansas Food Bank. 

Wesley House is an outreach mission of First United Methodist Church in Pittsburg, Kansas.  It was established in 1982 to address the needs of low-income families in the area.  The mission of Wesley House is to provide a safe, welcoming place for individuals and families of Crawford County to seek assistance, advocacy, education and hope for a brighter tomorrow.  The ministry has grown and evolved through the years, but the primary purpose remains the same- to reach out with God's love to those who are in need in Crawford County.

2018 Move & Shake for MS Zumbathon

Move & Shake for MS Zumbathon is the annual fundraiser for the Hope for MS Foundation. The foundation uses the funds raised to provide grants to those in the four states area living with Multiple Sclerosis that will enhance their quality of life.

The main purpose of the Hope for MS Foundation is to END MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. While we may not be able to accomplish this ultimate goal this year, we do have attainable goals that will be achieved. Hope for MS Foundation is a 100% volunteer group that strives to use every penny raised to make an impact on MS. We are funding research that will bring about a cure and better treatments in the interim. We are funding patient grants for items needed to live easier with MS such as scooters, wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps, walking aids and physical therapy equipment.
