Community Outreach

Greenwood United Methodist Church works hand-in-hand with and for our community.

Aggies Attic

A Little Store with A Big Impact

Aggie’s Attic thrift store, named for its founder Agnes Dalton (years of life?) is a non-profit ministry of Greenwood which puts every penny of revenue back into the community. Run entirely by volunteers, Aggie’s Attic provides funding for the following:
Food for over 152 school children with the Backpack program (a shared ministry with Glen Allen Baptist Church)
Scholarships for six students to the Advanced Career Education program at Hermitage (link to this program:

Utility bill/rent assistance for individuals
School Supplies for Chestnut Grove Middle School
SCRAP RVA.
Bread shared with the Fire Station #5 and Food Donation Connection
Clothing Donations for Men, Women, and Children
Pet Supplies for SPCA
Clothing Accessories for Change the World RVA

When you shop at Aggie’s Attic you are indeed giving back to the community- and you are participating in an on-going ministry and witness of Greenwood United Methodist Church. Visit us on Facebook to catch the latest happenings at Aggie’s!

Food Distribution

Since the 1990’s Greenwood has been a partner in Food Donation Connection (logo attached in email). Each week volunteers visit local convenience restaurants and collect donated food items-which are then taken to the church. Lay members gather at 5:30 p.m. on Friday evenings to set out food for distribution and at 6:00 p.m., we open the doors to the community for any and all to come and receive.

Cub Scouts

Greenwood United Methodist Church has sponsored Cub Scout Pack #744 for over 40 years. We are proud partners with Scouting of America. Many of the principals and skills learned in scouting can be found in the Christian tradition and we appreciate these points of intersectionality. Greenwood welcomes the pack families to join in worship and other events throughout the year such as the Easter Egg Hunt. The congregation celebrates the pack annually on Scouting Sunday.
Mr. Donnie Gladfelter (donnie@dgladfelter.com) serves as Scout Master. You can also find the Pack on their Facebook page

Longdale Elementary School

Greenwood is honored to share a decades-long relationship with Longdale Elementary School. Each year Greenwood hosts two drives for school supplies (August and January). The recipients and the supplies are blessed with a liturgy before they are delivered to the students.
