<p>Kumler Outreach Ministries strives to help the at-risk population of the greater Springfield area overcome the physical, social, economic and spiritual obstacles they face. We do this through a food pantry, prescription assistance program, community garden and twice monthly community meal (first and fourth Tuesdays at Kumler United Methodist Church, 600 N. 5th St., Springfield). We also provide layettes with items for newborn babies, and have free coats, hats, scarves, gloves/mittens during the winter months. Personal hygiene items, such as soap and shampoo, are available when they have been donated.<br></p><p> </p>
