The United Methodist Church has a long history of supporting Epworth Children’s Home with gifts and offerings. Last year the combined giving of United Methodist churches and individuals totaled 28% of all our revenue.
Epworth Children’s Home is not an apportioned item and relies heavily on the financial gifts received through the annual Mother’s Day and Work Day offerings that Methodist churches in South Carolina have collected for more than 70 years. These gifts continue to form the foundation enabling Epworth to provide quality comprehensive care for our children.
The Mother’s Day offering is collected each year on Mother’s Day, and the Work Day offering is collected the second Sunday in September. Each October, Epworth begins collecting donations to fulfill the wishes of children and teens on Epworth’s campuses and in our foster care program.
