missions and outreach

  • Snap decision protein drive

    Parkway is partnering with Second Mile Mission Center to collect meat items to help families in need that are suffering from the recent SNAP cutbacks.


    The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly “food stamps”) is the first line of defense for 3.5 million low-income Texans who rely on it to help feed their families.


    Meat donations can be dropped off at Parkway UMC in one of the freezers located in the Worship Center or Ministry Center.

  • second mile mission toy drive

    Collections:  Now - December 14th


    Second Mile is a non-profit ministry partnering with the community. Their aim is to assist Fort Bend County residents in poverty and crisis; by providing basic needs and opportunities for them to take healthy next steps. Every year, Second Mile hosts a Christmas Toy Store where families in need can purchase toys for their children at 50-80% off retail prices. The goal is to empower parents who might have tight budgets by giving them the dignity of being able to shop for their children for Christmas. These toys benefit local families who might otherwise not have Christmas. 


    Parkway partners with Second Mile each year to collect new, unwrapped toys for children (ages birth to 12 years old) of families in need. You can help us make Christmas special for local kids and families by donating a toy. Every gift, big or small, helps make the holidays brighter for a child.


    To see a list of most wanted toys click HERE.


    Unwrapped toys an be dropped off a Parkway now through December 14th.


    You can also shop directly from their Amazon Wishlist and the toy will be delivered directly to Second Mile Mission Center. Click HERE to see the Amazon Wishlist.

  • family promise

    November 2nd - 8th

    Click HERE to sign up!


    Four times a year PUMC volunteers take a turn among an interfaith network of congregations and local civic clubs to provide dinner each night for a week to families who are between homes.


    Fort Bend Family Promise (FBFP) helps families develop a plan to attain safe, affordable housing and develop the confidence and skills they need to achieve long-term independence. FBFP also assists hundreds of other individuals each year through referrals and partnerships with other local social service agencies and resources.  FBFP has decided to house families temporarily in what they are calling “static housing” to the benefit the families.


    We thank all of our volunteers for their generosity and time in delivering the meals. Water, paper plates, and utensils will be delivered separately.
