Volunteer to Serve

Volunteers are always needed for the many varied missions and outreach projects at Wheatland. If you would like to get involved, contact the church office for more details.

Feed the Hungry Mission: Dick’s Legacy

Feed the Hungry Mission: Dick’s Legacy started with a few members making sandwiches on their kitchen table and has grown to feeding homeless and the hungry in homes and apartments, as well as providing for their individual needs. Volunteers include Wheatland members and friends, Trinity Church, First DeSoto UMC, and Homeless Coalition of Dallas Food Pantry.

Donations of goods, cash or checks, (add memo “Dick’s Legacy”) make all this possible:

  • Sack lunches with sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit and an inspirational “God Card”

  • Groceries including dry goods, meats, milk, bread, cereal and fresh vegetables

  • Personal hygiene bags with soap, washcloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, toilet paper, shampoo, lotion

  • Devotional books and Bibles

  • Bus passes, tents, tarps, kitchen supplies

  • Coats, gloves, hats, blankets in the winter

  • T-shirts, socks, underwear year-round

  • Pet supplies including food, crates, leashes, collars, and tags

Food Collection Baskets

The Missions Committee has an ongoing food collection that is delivered by volunteers to families without transportation. The food collection baskets are at the entrances to the sanctuary to remind us to keep the needy in our prayers and on our grocery lists. Non-perishable items are needed, such as: Pork and Beans, Soup, Peanut Butter, Tuna, Dry Beans, Canned Fruit, Rice, Pasta, Canned Vegetables, Pudding and Jello.
