2023 Bazaar Proceeds will Benefit our Community and Beyond
United Women in Faith (formerly the UMW) is humbled and grateful for the significant help and support the congregation provided to make the 2023 Bazaar possible – and a success – last November. Most importantly, the event netted a profit of $$6,892, an increase over 2022! At our February meeting, we decided how to help our community with the profits.
Because of the current positive bottom line in our checking account at this time we were able to disburse $7,000 in funds to ministries across the area and beyond, including:
HUMC Prayer, Care and Share ministry
Cozy Quilts Ministry
SS. Peter and Paul Food Pantry and Outreach
Warm the Children – Hamburg
Kathleen Mary House in Hamburg for those fleeing domestic violence situations
Salary support for Dee Finch, pastor, at Seneca Street United Methodist Church in Buffalo
Family Promise
Buffalo Peacemakers violence prevention program
Harvest House in Buffalo with ministries for children and families in need
Journey's End Refugee Services
Peace of the City, providing children and youth programming in Buffalo
Cornerstone Manor, temporary housing for women and children

Project Mona House for those experiencing homelessness, orphaned and exploitation through human trafficking
Rural Outreach Center
United Methodist Committee on Relief – to help with disasters
We also committed an annual pledge to the Niagara Frontier District United Women in Faith. Thank you for helping us make a difference in our church, our community, region and beyond!
