GYTTE - Give Ye Them to Eat

GYTTE was founded in 1977 as a social outreach project of the Methodist Church of Mexico to combat hunger and poverty in the rural sector. The purpose of the "Give Ye Them to Eat" program (GYTTE) is to strengthen the capabilities of marginalized people and communities to meet their basic needs, and to determine and sustain a just and integrated development process. Participatory methods and development tools are used to create conditions in which change can take place from within the communities. GYTTE uses people-centered approaches to development.

North Valley Caring Services (NVCS) facebook

Northridge UMC members and constituents have supported North Valley Caring Services (NVCS) for many years - in the breakfast program, in the youth program, through the Bike-A-Thon and Play-A-Thon fundraisers, through sponsorship of the Children's Christmas Mart, collecting food and money for the food pantry and breakfast programs, collecting towels and toiletries for the homeless shower program, and through service on the NVCS board. In 2011 NUMC led a work-team in refurbishing the NVCS facilities - new windows, air conditioners and interior painting. In 2012 NUMC has assisted in providing Legal Clinics on Immigration through NVCS.

Change In the World

Your change can change the world.

Here's how it works:
There is a small display in the narthex of the church where you will find some jars. Take a jar home, place it in some convenient location and over time fill it with your loose change. Bring it back and the change will then be combined with the change of others and dispersed to a variety of projects that will ultimately change the world.

Here is an example:

There was an enthusiastic, dedicated Bible study group with good leadership at a village church in the Philippines. There was a problem. They only had one bible. The Change the World Program provided the needed Bibles, in the local language, plus plenty of extras. This, along with many other projects will change the world.
