Have you ever sacrificed a meal so that your children could eat? Have you ever received an eviction notice because you couldn’t pay your rent? Has your power or water ever been disconnected? Have you ever worn the same clothes three days in a row? These are real issues that our clients face and the reasons that United Christian Ministries (UCM) exists.

For 35 years, we have provided emergency assistance to help families in our community meet their basic needs. Last year alone, over 9,000 people in Pickens County and the Powdersville area received food, utility, rent, and clothing assistance from UCM. The support of our community is crucial to our mission, and we cherish opportunities to partner with local businesses.

On August 24, 2024, we are hosting a masquerade ball to celebrate our 35th anniversary. All proceeds from our events will help our neighbors who lack the financial resources to meet their basic needs.

Menu: salad, roast sirloin with mushroom sauce or teriyaki chicken breast, roasted red skin potatoes, fresh vegetable medley, fresh green beans, brownie ala mode, coffee, tea & water

Agenda: Introductions & Recognitions, dinner, stories of celebration, silent auction, masquerade photo opportunities & dancing
