CUP has new shelving thanks to Josh Moritz! As part of his Eagle Scout project, he and his friends raised the money, constructed, and installed new shelving. Many thanks to Josh, Troop 777, and the churches who helped fund Josh’s project.
CUP In Action
Many thanks to Youth from Trinity United Methodist Church and Youth Pastor Megan Croy! They volunteered time to cleaning and stocking the shelves at CUP this morning. Their help is much appreciated. They did an amazing job!
We need more volunteers, and we have a wide range of tasks and very flexible times. If you are interested in seeing how you or your group can help, email limacup1@gmail.com or contact the CUP board member at one of our partner churches.

The United States Post Office teamed up with local food pantries to Stamp Out Hunger today. Ten teams of CUP volunteers, in conjunction with the post office, picked up donations left throughout Lima neighborhoods. CUP director Mary Stepleton was thrilled to report that CUP’s tally for the day was ten full grocery carts. Postal workers also collected donations which will go to the West Ohio Food Bank for distribution to other area food pantries.
Stepleton offered high praise to CUP volunteer Suzanne Plumb, who organized CUP’s participation in the event.
Last month, CUP provided food for nearly 2000 people in Lima. The bulk of the organization’s support comes from its local church partners and events such as the USPS’ Stamp Out Hunger event.
The next CUP event will be a concert at Shawnee Alliance Church on May 28. SIX bands will be rocking Shawnee Alliance Church, all to benefit CUP.

“Here I am, Lord, is it I, Lord. I have heard you calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if you lead me. I will hold your people in my hands” As volunteers for C. U. P. we have the unique opportunity to hold God’s people in our hands by feeding the hungry. As volunteers, we follow our mission by also listening to God’s people, offering help when needed and showing God’s incredible love and mercy and grace. May we continue to hear God’s call in the night to continue our service. Amen
