| Faith Kitchen is
a connectional ministry between Faith United Methodist
Church in North Canton and Crystal Park United Methodist
Church in Canton. We serve the people of the community on
the last Saturday of each month at Crystal Park UMC
located at 2221 Mahoning Rd NE, Canton, Ohio. We provide a
time of worship, a hot lunch, clothing, household goods
and groceries. The Faith Kitchen is committed to serving
our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is our mission to
be God's hands in our community.
We are also trying to
respond to the needs of our community by giving school
supplies to area children in August. Winter apparel such
as coats, hats, gloves and blankets are distributed in
October and November.
Many people in our church
and community are involved in this ministry and we welcome
newcomers!
