MDUMC Supports Our Local Schools
Memorial Drive United Methodist Church is deeply committed to the students and families of Spring Branch ISD. Through our MentorSBISD program, our members walk alongside students as mentors, offering consistency and encouragement throughout the school year. We also provide in-kind donations — food, toiletries, and other essentials — to six local schools: Hollibrook, Thornwood, and Edgewood Elementary Schools, Spring Forest and Cornerstone Middle Schools, and Stratford High School. Beyond the school walls, we support families of SBISD students who need clothing, home furnishings, school supplies, and more. And we love celebrating our schools' communities directly — sponsoring field trips, hosting carnivals, and partnering on parent involvement initiatives that bring families together. We believe that when schools thrive, neighborhoods thrive, and we're honored to be a small part of that story.
