To compassionately help God's people in need locally, nationally, and around the world, and to offer a center to fulfill the call for service to our neighbors in Christ's name.
Our Mission:
What is Midwest Mission Distribution Center?
Midwest Mission is a disaster relief facility located on an 8 acre campus, 4 miles south of Springfield, Illinois. Construction began in October of 1999 and opened for ministry in the year 2000. Midwest Mission is a caring ministry related to the Illinois Great Rivers Conference and the North Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Church. MMDC is also a cooperating depot in the UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Relief Supply Network as of January 2010.
Midwest Mission's campus provides opportunities for individuals and groups of all walks of life, denominational backgrounds, abilities, and ages to help provide disaster relief kits and resources as well as educational and medical supplies to those in need both locally and internationally. Midwest Mission provides that "hands on" mission experience.
Midwest Mission is a 501c(3) organization.
Midwest mission school desks
Did you know that children's desks for Mission Schools around the world are created at
Midwest Mission?
The desks are built mainly of recycled bleacher wood that has been reclaimed from public buildings such as schools, community centers, and churches who are renovating or updating their facilities. Our volunteers clean and plane the wood, cut it to size, assemble it into desks, and add two coats of
clear polyurethene finish.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF THIS
IMPORTANT RECYCLING PROJECT?
If you hear of a facility that is planning to remove their wooden bleachers, let us know! We can save them money in disposal costs and, in some cases, we can send a team to help remove the bleachers and give them a second life.
