EEE Spotlight



The Moundford Free Methodist Church Thanksgiving Basket Project began after member Terry Mason recognized a mission opportunity. Mason put together a small team of church members to obtain food, pack and distribute several hundred baskets at Thanksgiving.

In only two years, the project outgrew the church basement and moved to the old Armory Building on Eldorado. Last year 250 people packed 2,500 boxes in less than two hours.
