Making a Real Difference
Listed below are our featured missions. Come back soon for more information on the rest of our service opportunities and missions.
For over 30 years, our Lunch Program has been the cornerstone mission of Royal Oak First. We provide food to people experiencing food insecurity and homelessness in our community. We offer a hot lunch and a bagged lunch from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Monday-Friday, year round. We also have a clothing and toiletries closet.
Our Essentials Pantry provides individuals and families access to some basic household items that cannot be purchased using government assistance programs. Items available include: dish soap, laundry soap, all-purpose spray cleaners, toilet paper, paper towels and much more, along with basic personal hygiene products.
The Essentials Pantry is open the first Saturday of each month from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at Royal Oak First United Methodist Church, 320 W. 7th Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067.
We work with our partners at the Methodist Children’s Home Society to provide birthday parties for the boys in their care four to six times a year. Email missions@rofum.org for more details as when the next birthday party is going to be.
For the past six years, members of Royal Oak First have generously provided fresh produce each month for the Redford Brightmoor Initiative (RBI) Free Store—often the only source of fresh fruits and vegetables for the families they serve. We’re looking for volunteers to help shop for produce every month. If you can lend a hand, please click the button below to sign up. Your time and effort make a meaningful difference!
