Faith Kitchen is a connectional ministry between Faith United Methodist Church in North Canton and Crystal Park United Methodist Church in Canton. We serve the people of the community on the last Saturday of each month at Crystal Park UMC located at 2221 Mahoning Rd NE, Canton, Ohio. We provide a time of worship, a hot lunch, clothing, household goods and groceries. The Faith Kitchen is committed to serving our brothers and sisters in Christ. It is our mission to be God's hands in our community.
We are also trying to respond to the needs of our community by giving school supplies to area children in August. Winter apparel such as coats, hats, gloves and blankets are distributed in October and November.
Many people in our church and community are involved in this ministry and we welcome newcomers!
