Community United Methodist Church in Washington Terrace, Utah, holds holiday boutique with meal packing to fight hunger

The Community United Methodist Church Holiday Boutique returns November 6–7 at the church in Washington Terrace. The event brings together local vendors, handmade crafts and food, and supports a mission to fight hunger.

The boutique has raised funds since it began in 2015. The money has gone toward supplies for building meals for people in need.

This year the church is partnering with The Outreach Program on a meal-packing activity with a goal of 20,000 meals. Each meal feeds six people, and the completed meals will be delivered to Catholic Community Services in Ogden. Church members are serving neighbors who face hunger, a form of care for those in need (Isaiah 58:7).

Visitors can shop from 68 local vendors, browse the church’s handcraft room, take part in a silent auction and eat at the Boutique Cafe.

Admission is free, so visitors can support local businesses while helping the community.
