Missions and Outreach had the joy of delivering tailored suits to the men of The Jobs Partnership of Orlando last week! Jobs Partnership is an amazing organization that provides vocational education during a 12-week cycle multiple times a year and FUMCWP is privileged to partner with them to provide interview suits for the men in the program. From fittings to delivery, the suits (including everything from ties to shoes to undershirts) are tailored to each man’s size and style – all free of charge! The men were all so grateful for their new interview clothes and we loved seeing their smiles! For more information about The Jobs Partnership of Orlando, visit jobspartnership.org.

Street Eats Bags Bring People Together
You’ve probably seen our Street Eats bags available on Sunday mornings to take to someone you encounter over the course of your week who is in need. They are full of food items, a bottle of water, and a card filled with resource information. They also have a sticker on the front that says “Know You Are Loved.” When someone is given one of the bags, we hope they understand that no matter what, they are loved.
Stuart is one of our members who gives out these bags often – so much so that his mentees in South Orange Blossom Trail recognize the bags around the neighborhood and know where they came from! He says that when he gives a bag to someone, others around him are more inclined to give instead of ignore the person in need. It also allows him to get to know the people he is helping, learn their names, their stories, and other needs they have.
If you’re interested in assembling Street Eats bags, join us for our Family Serve Night on June 21st. Check the May Monthly Newsletter for more information about the event and registration!
