The Container Project is a nonprofit organization
founded to serve the community both locally and
abroad by the distribution of non-perishable goods.
Through the Container Project items such as new or
gently used clothing, linens, limited medical sup-
plies and sewing machines are gathered and distrib-
uted wherever the need is identified. The Container
Project partners with other nonprofit organizations,
churches (such as Community, Missouri and Fair-
view United Methodist churches and New Horizons)
and volunteers throughout the Midwest.
Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, “Life's most
urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”
The Container Project provides many people with
the opportunity to stop, reach out and help others in
our communities and across the globe.
In 2014 Community UMC donated funds to create
350 school desks for the children of Nicaragua.
Through the efforts of dedicated individuals the
desks became a reality, were shipped in January,
and
are in
use today. Thanks to Community, as many as 700
children now may sit at a desk as they attend school.
Although we have made a difference we still have a
long way to go in our efforts to improve education. If
you want to challenge yourself or groups and would
like to make a difference please consider a gift of $40
to cover the cost of a desk. This would be a visible gift
that would make a difference as soon as it hits the
ground.
Container Project has been blessed with many dona-
tions of goods, services and funds to make it possible.
These donations are critical to the survival of the less
fortunate people living throughout the world. If you
are looking for a way to make a difference in lives of
others, please consider ways we can partner together.
Your gift of time, talents, goods or funds are all of
great value. Container Project would not be possible
