This ministry in partnership with North Central- Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging, Inc. through the local Clay Center Senior Center.

Disaster Response
As part of our ministry to our neighbors around the corner and around the world, we provide volunteers for UMCOR’s Early Response Teams through the Great Plains Conference of the United Methodist Church.
