As a mission of Pine Grove United Methodist Church, Rayville, we believe in reaching out to those in need, both locally and globally. We participate in many missions with the children, through the support of their families and teachers. Our current missions are: Food, toiletry, and clothing drives to meet the needs of the Baltimore North Cluster Food Bank, Happy Hope Bags that benefit hospitalized children through the Message of Hope Foundation, Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan's Purse, Cards for our troops, Cards for senior citizens in assisted living programs and our newest mission was packing 10,000 meals for Stop Hunger Now.

Baltimore North Cluster Food Bank and Community Clothing Closet
The Baltimore North Cluster Food Bank, an outreach ministry of 18 Cluster UM Churches, began in the early 1980's at Bentley Springs UMC. Moving in 1998 to the present location on the grounds of Pine Grove UMC, it is a volunteer service to those in need in the greater community. A brief, confidential interview is required prior to being served. Currently serving between 55 and 60 families the Food Bank is open Monday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. through 12:00 p.m. and Wednesday 5:00 p.m. through 7:00 p.m. Relying completely on donations, cereal, canned meats, peanut butter, jelly, and spaghetti sauce are always needed along with all other non-perishable foods, household cleaning items, and monetary gifts.
