Our mission is to ignite and empower our community to experience and share the love of Christ.
Central on Garland is a campus of Central UMC Fayetteville located just off Garland Avenue—near I-49 and north of North/Weddington Street—in the heart of a vibrant and growing neighborhood. Central on Garland is a place where all are truly welcome to gather, grow in faith, and build meaningful relationships with their community.
Serving neighbors on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 7:30 PM!
We all need healthy nutritional food choices, and our goal is to have a variety of options, like cereals, rice, beans, pastas, canned and frozen meat, fresh and canned fruits, fresh and canned vegetables, as well as bakery items. Basic personal products such as diapers, feminine care products and toilet paper are necessities and we try to have, at least, emergency quantities available. And pets are members of our households, so we try to have small amounts of cat and dog food to help feed them, too. Come and select what you need and prefer.
Every Sunday at 3:30 our community gathers to eat a meal together. All are welcome to join us. The Food is always great and the people are even better. This wonderful event is the core of who we are as the body of Christ. The meal is totally free. So come by and check it out!
We’re always grateful for extra hands—especially volunteers who can help transport rescue food! If you’re curious, just ask any volunteer on site for more information.
