It takes all of us to make our church special -- we are a TEAM. The Turning Pointe serves in the community: West Side Food Pantry United Caring Shelter Habitat for Humanity of Evansville United Methodist Youth Home Jacob's Village West Side Food Pantry There continues to be a tremendous need for food assistance in our community. An opportunity to give non-perishable items and money is given on the second weekend of each month. In addition TTP provides 4 volunteers to work at the food pantry on the third Friday of each month. United Caring Shelter Together we can bring the homeless all the way home. United Caring Shelter has been delivering basic services to the homeless in Evansville for more than ten years. Every month on the third Saturday a team of volunteers from TTP prepare and serve a hot meal at the shelter. Habitat for Humanity of Evansville The Turning Pointe has partnered with other churches in the area to help Habitat of Evansville build safe and affordable housing for families in need. Some have contributed their time, building skills and money. In 2007, TTP plans to help with the Operation Home Again program which will aid victims of the November 6, 2005, tornado. United Methodist Youth Home Established in 1979, the United Methodist Youth Home, located on Burkhardt Road in Evansville is a faith-based organization that serves abused, troubled and neglected young people. UMYH provides assistance to youth that might be overlooked or even forgotten without their services. TTP has been involved with the youth home by helping with painting, landscaping, sponsoring out-of-town youth groups who come to work at UMYH, collecting school supplies and teaching the girls how to cook.
