Hospitality Hour

Our homeless neighbors find a refuge from the streets with refreshments, mail and phone service, needed toiletries, and a compassionate, listening ear. Those without access to clean clothes can drop off their laundry.

Laundry Drop-Off

Laundry may be dropped off on laundry days (Tuesday and Friday) during the Hospitality Hour. The laundry will be available for pick-up during the Hospitality Hour on the next laundry day (Tuesday or Friday).

Festival of Three Kings

Now going strong for over 15 years, the Festival of Three Kings is an event run by local United Methodist Churches that gives over 750 children associated with either Urban Ministries or the Department of Human Resources an opportunity to have a memorable Christmas. Highlands UMC will be responsible for 100 children this year. You are invited to purchase gifts from a wish list ($100 limit) and these gifts will be distributed to the children’s families.

Festival takes place at Highlands UMC on the first or second Saturday in December.

*Gifts need to dropped off at the church by Wednesday prior to the Festival


To volunteer for any of the community ministries above, please email Danny Jones.
