Daily Bread Food Pantry at Horne Memorial UMC
Thanks to your generous donations, the Daily Bread food pantry was able to provide 72 boxes of food for families during spring break.
We are now packing boxes ready for Summer Break. Can you help us? For the summer we like to include extra snacks for kids but also breakfast items and meal makers such as chili with beans, chicken and rice, and pasta with sauce. The full wish list has been updated and is on the website. Please leave your donations in the Daily Bread boxes on the back porch of the Lassiter House.
Alternatively, you may donate online or write a check payable to Horne Memorial UMC with food pantry in the memo line, and we will do the shopping for you.
Thank you for your continued support of this important mission.

Items we currently stock that are available for loan, short- or long-term, include durable medical equipment (such as walkers, shower chairs, bedside toilets, bed guardrails, etc.). We also stock a limited amount of free personal care items (such as disposable briefs, bed pads, wipes, etc.).
If you or someone you know has a need for equipment or supplies, please contact our MELC Coordinator Sonya Wilson and she can let you know what is available. Sonya is a Registered Nurse and can assist with any questions about how to properly use equipment.
Horne Memorial Community Toy Drive
Every year we collect gently used or new toys, games, books for all ages, so the under-resourced in the community may come and enjoy a “shopping” experience for their family for Christmas. The Give-away is held on the first Saturday of December Annually at 9am. We partner with our Hearts Of Hope Clothing closet, which will be open on the same day, with clothes and home goods for the families. Contact John Lopp, john@horneumc.net for more information.
Horne Quilt Ministry’s mission is to provide quilts for both children and adults under unique circumstances. The childrens quilts are given to those under the sponsorship of Johnston County Child Protective Services. The adult oncology quilts are provided to both Johnston UNC Healthcare Clayton Oncology Unit as well as Duke Women’s Cancer Center of Raleigh; those quilts are given by our ‘quilt fairies’ to those in serious need of comfort during their treatment. Contact Leigh Headington, leigh.headington@gmail.com if you want additional information about our mission.
Clayton Area Ministries
Organized primarily as a local food pantry, CAM also assists those in need with emergency utility bills.
To help: donate canned goods or make a donation earmarked for CAM. Collection containers are located in Horne. CAM is located and food can be dropped off there during operation hours. Horne members also volunteer time to sort and hand out food during operating hours. CAM has a continual need for peanut butter, canned meats, pasta, and canned fruit.
Light House Christian Fellowship
Established in 2000, Lighthouse Christian Ministry is a grass-roots community outreach ministry located in Four Oaks that annually serves between 19,000 – 25,000 under-resourced Johnston County residents.
The ministry provides a food pantry, Soup Kitchen, clothing distribution program, community-based Bible studies, job training programs, health and nutrition classes, and tutoring and literacy training. Services are regularly provided to veterans and the disabled by completing small home repairs at no charge and building ramps for the handicapped.
Offering spiritual support to the under-resourced and disenfranchised is a priority for this ministry in all of the services it provides. Weekly church services are held and pastoral counseling is offered for those struggling. To date, the ministry has assisted over 300 under-resourced families in paying funeral costs of a loved one.
The ministry is instrumental in assisting other area churches and groups in starting their own food pantries and training volunteers. It continues to lead an effort in the faith community to improve and increase outreach efforts throughout Johnston County.

They help to ensure equality of resources regardless of gender, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation or disability. They advocate for residents who have been denied services, without justification – utilizing available methods of due process or appeal.
