The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) provides on-the-ground relief when natural disasters strike. Lakeside has set a goal of assembling and storing 20 flood relief buckets for UMCOR disaster response efforts. These buckets contain essential cleaning supplies.

We have created an Amazon registry where items can be purchased and shipped directly to the church.

Help us stock the food pantries at our partner elementary schools before Summer Break!

The list of requested items is below. Flip top cans are preferred over ones that require a can opener.

Please drop off donations by May 17.

You can also use the button below to order from Amazon and have it delivered directly to Lakeside.
