Hope Through Yarn is group of knitters and crocheters from Webb City and surrounding communities who gather on the fourth Saturday of each month at 10:00 am to knit and crochet to support various projects.

The public is welcome. Participants are to provide their own yarn, needles and hooks. Patterns and assistance are available. For more information, call 673-5849.

Central UMC offers a Community Neighborhood Food Pantry for Webb City and the surrounding areas. The Food Pantry provides non-perishable food items to any size family. Each sack contains items from the basic food categories.

This Food Pantry was established to reflect the gospel message of giving to those in need and feeding those who might have fewer resources. The Food Pantry is open Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. There is no need to make an appointment we prefer you to walk right in.

In order to receive food items you must show a picture id, and provide us with your address. For persons receiving food on a regular basis, you are required to wait 30 days until your next disbursement can be made.

Several members of our congregation work at Crosslines on the first Tuesday of every month from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Anyone who is not afraid to work hard, but gain personal satisfaction at being able to help others is welcomed.

Our congregation is very supportive in donating items monthly. Crosslines appreciates any item you feel you can donate, especially powdered milk and personal care items as these are always needed.
