We are excited to offer two Mission Impact opportunities for Annual Conference – Any church member that would like to participate may drop off donations or items to the church office by June 2, 2026 and they will be taken to Annual Conference. 

UMCOR Menstrual Kits 

UMCOR menstrual kits are essential for restoring dignity, health, and equity to vulnerable populations during disasters, crises, and economic hardship. These kits combat period poverty by providing necessary products (pads, tampons, hygiene items), allowing individuals—especially students—to maintain daily routines without missing school or work, while reducing stigma. In order to participate in this Mission Impact project at Annual Conference, you can: 

 

  • Scan the QR code to the right to purchase kit items. 
  • Send a check (payable to WPAUMC with “2026 Mission Impact” in memo line) for any donation amount to the Conference Center at WPAUMC, P.O. Box 5002, Cranberry Twp., PA 16066. 

We hope to assemble 1,000 kits, so your support is greatly appreciated! 

PennWest Pantry 

The PennWest Pantry at the California campus is dedicated to helping students overcome food insecurity and related hardships so that they can stay focused on their academic goals and overall well-being. Located in the Natali Student Center and serving students through an online request and pickup system, it provides free food, personal hygiene products, academic supplies, and other essentials to those in need, ensuring that basic needs are met discreetly and with respect, so hunger or lack of resources doesn’t become a barrier to success. 

Annual Conference attendees are encouraged to bring donations for PennWest Pantry to campus and drop them off at registration. Please see the list of needed items on the back of this flyer at the link below.  By participating in this unique Mission Impact opportunity, you will not only care for those in need but also be a witness for Christ in the lives of PennWest California students who will arrive in the fall.
