The Denton Wesleyan Church sent 38 people to Brooklyn, New York over the weekend of Nov. 21-23. The team took coats, blankets, toiletries, scarves, gloves, hats, and other warm clothing to assist residents in the winter months. The team also took hygiene packs, food and blankets to the homeless in a park in Manhattan.
DWC offers the same assistance to the Denton and South Davidson community through their CHAMP (Community Health And Mentoring Project) center. The center is a 501c3 that provides food, clothes, children's and teen educational programs, and a community meal monthly.
The church and the CHAMP center have distributed over 500 bags of groceries, served over 1400 meals (and delivered over 300 more), provided 75 families with school supplies, provided hundreds of coats, blankets, and clothes, as well as helping several families with minor home repair needs.
