About The Fill a Shoebox Mission
The shoeboxes stay within the United States, benefiting individuals in Southeastern Kentucky, ne of our nation's most isolated, rural, and distressed areas.. This region faces chronic poverty, lack of jobs, poor housing, and rugged mountainous terrain, creating significant obstacles for residents.
Founded in 1921, Red Bird Mission was born as an answer to a prayer. Located in the southeastern corner of Kentucky, it provides education and Christian evangelism ministries to the area’s residents. Red Bird Mission is part of one of three United Methodist missionary conferences in the U.S. and is the most comprehensive mission effort of The United Methodist Church. Its outreach and services address the whole person—spiritual, physical, social, and economic.
United Methodists of Upper New York have participated in the shoebox mission for several years, contributing to five key program areas:
Education
Health
Housing Improvement
Outreach
Economic Opportunity
Completed Boxes Deadline: November 14, 2024
You may also consider donating new items from the request list, which can be dropped off at the church office on Sundays or during office hours. Your support will help provide much-needed resources and hope to this struggling community!

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Lord, we look for you in the wrong places.
We put our trust in material things.
We worry about things we cannot change.
We wonder if you are even there at all.
For all the times we have doubted you, Lord, forgive us.
For all the ways we have neglected your word
and ignored your people, forgive us.
Do not be far from us, Lord.
There is no one else we can turn to for help.
Renew our fickle hearts and help us put our trust in you.
