For over 20 years UMCHP Missions has been providing meals to the Dutchess County Homeless Shelter. Our church's commitment is for the 3rd Sunday of the month. Missions provides sandwiches, fresh fruit, and granola bars for up to 125. The cost for the food is a line item in the Missions budget.
You can find us preparing sandwiches in the kitchen every 3rd Sunday. If you'd like to learn more about this outreach, please contact Gina Lacey
Rebuilding Together DutchessCounty
Rebuilding Together Dutchess County's mission is to build a community where all people can live independently in a safe, warm and dry home. Since 2008 the UMC of Hyde Park has been working with Rebuilding Together Dutchess County on National Rebuilding Day in April of each year.
UMCHP has financially supported and pulled together teams to repair the homes of families in need, single moms in need, a disabled veteran and a senior couple/veteran. To learn more about volunteering with the UMC of Hyde Park in support of Rebuilding

Community Cares
Hyde Park Community Cares is an outreach that has been around for over 25years. Throughout its history, it has had several names: Alternative Christmas, Adopt-A-Family and within the last couple of years, Community Cares. Yet, the purpose of the program has remained unchanged to provide help for families in need during the holiday season.
UMCHP supports Hyde Park Community Cares by providing gift cards to Stop & Shop for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and we provide VISA gift cards to the parent(s) or guardian of children to shop for Christmas gifts.
There are several ways you may become a part of this outpouring of love that is very much appreciated by the receiving families.
You may purchase and donate gift cards
You may donate to HP Community Cares Fund.
And of course, when all is said and done, people need our prayers.
Please consider planning to support the Hyde Park Community Cares program and experience the true joy of giving. If you have questions, please contact Peggy Roland.
