| Saturday's Kids |
Saturday's Kids is a program to help feed children in our area that don't get enough to eat over the weekends and during school vacations. FUMC-Humble is one of 4 different churches that assist with this program in addition to some commercial businesses and a few individual families. On Saturday mornings, a bag of groceries, instead of pre-made meals, are delivered to the family or families that have signed up. Everyone is welcome to help and can jump in to participate anytime. FUMC is currently serving over 100 children...even more children are waiting for food.

| Angel Tree |
When a parent is in prison, Christmas doesn't always mean gifts and celebrations for the kids in that family. For many years, FUMC-Humble has reached out to children of prisoners, who face the holidays without the presence of a parent. Join the crew as they collect wish lists and gifts so that no child's Christmas season is left empty.
