You can donate to the Comet Cupboard by bringing goods to the Cupboard itself or place them in the plastic crate by the front door of the church. Financial donations are welcome. Make the check out to Polk City United Methodist with Comet Cupboard noted on it.
Free Clinics of Iowa
Our clinic is open the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 6-8 pm. We see patients for illness, for school, sports, pre and current employment physicals, and utilize our legislative funding to provide medications, some immunizations, flu vaccines, equipment and supplies.
Patients enter the second door on the east side of the Church, marked Clinic Entrance.

Booked! Bible Study
Resumes Sept 12, 2023. Every Tuesday from 4:30 to 5:30pm Cindy Hickman (recently retired UMC pastor) leads a study of the Bible at the church. We select a book of the Bible and read it as a group, ask questions, and discuss.
