Presbyterian Urban Ministries
Presbyterian Urban Ministries (PUM) is fulfilling God's commandment to feed the hungry, cloth the needy, and look after the poor. They do this by supplying basic life necessities such as food, clothing, hygiene items, and referral services. The other way is through empowerment. They empower people by helping them back to work by providing assistance for identification documents, transportation to job interviews new jobs, proper work attire and other employment referral resources.
“This is our special duty, that if anyone specially
needs our help, we should give him such help to
the utmost of our power.” - Cicero
Volunteers are an integral part of making this ministry to the less fortunate happen. Over 40 wonderful people volunteer thousands of hours each year as receptionists, caseworkers, food packers, grounds keepers and clothes distributors. PUM volunteers are very much the foundation of this ministry. Without them, PUM would not be able to accomplish what God has commanded us to do.
