Ways to Serve
Camp Hope Dinners
Each month, a group of volunteers gathers to cook a meal that will be delivered and served at Camp Hope. This is a great way to give back to our veterans and show our appreciation for all they have done. If you would like to get involved with Camp Hope, please click the link below to learn about the upcoming ways you can volunteer.
MDUMC offers many opportunities for outreach, including our missions program. Missioners are sent throughout the US, and around the world, showing love for God and neighbor by reaching into the community to help those in need.
Please contact us with any questions.
FAM HOUSTON PARTNERSHIP
Working for justice by building an empowered community among refugees, immigrants, and local Houstonians through practices of hospitality, mutuality, storytelling, and inclusivity.
SHAMBA YA AMANI
Shamba Ya Amani (“the Farm of Peace” in Swahili) is located in the Alief area and directed by FAM’s Women’s Empowerment Group.

PAMOJA PROJECT
The Pamoja Project is a brand-new initiative of FAM, piloted with MDUMC members! This project seeks to connect refugee and immigrant families to Houstonian families to create mutual aid groups. MDUMC members are paired with refugee households from FAM as Companions, to accompany one another alongside the joys and struggles that all lives hold.
FAM Houston is recruiting for our next Pamoja Program cohort! Pamoja ("together" in Swahili) builds empowered community by pairing newcomers and Houstonian families to form relationships, engage in mutual learning, and walk alongside one another through all of life's ups and downs. Participants (called Companions) let their partners know that they are seen, cared for, and not forgotten. This cohort will be comprised of Companions from multiple faith communities. FAM staff will hold an interest meeting via Zoom on Sept 25.
