Everyone needs help at some point By Martha Zimmerman, Avon United Methodist Church AVON—What happens when you step out in faith and say 'yes' to a request? Sometimes we don’t know for sure, but last August the Avon United Methodist Church (UMC) Family said yes to hosting a food distribution for the Avon Community. The Abingdon Cupboard and Closet organization asked Avon UMC to be a satellite location to distribute food for those with a need for additional support. The food distribution in Avon started with about 10 families and has grown to assist and support over 40 area families, impacting over 100 residents.
