United Methodist Women (UMW)
Locally, our United Methodist Women prepare and serve four Sunday noon meals for the Mercy Center in Anderson that provides counseling, meals, activities, and worship opportunities for the homeless in the downtown area. Monetary contributions are also given. Clean Start is another organization that provides showers and laundry services as well as clothing needs to Anderson's homeless. Clothing, laundry supplies, and personal items are collected and delivered to their facility each month. At Christmas our UMW circles spearhead the collection of teddy bears and other snugglies to gift to nursing homes, rescue squads, to children at the Sunshine House, and the American Red Cross.
United Methodist Women at Zion support many organizations by giving to the United Methodist Church, including South Carolina projects like the Wallace Family Life Center, two Bethlehem Centers, John's Island Mission, the Killingsworth Home in Columbia, and the Tracy Jackson Literacy program.
In times of crisis globally or nationally we collect materials for health kits and school supply kits, pack them, and send them to flood victims, earthquake survivors, refugees or victims of other disasters.

United Methodist Men (UMM)
United Methodist Men are a key institution throughout the United Methodist Church. The Zion United Methodist Men meet on the third Sunday of each month at 8:00AM in the Zion Christian Life Center (CLC). We have four annual functions: the Chili Cook-Off, the Ladies Banquet, the barbecue supper for the Zion Family Camping Trip, and the annual Zion Fireman's Appreciation Dinner.
Our fundraising and love offerings have sent boys to summer camp and provided Christmas presents for families in need. We also provide financial support for our church's missions, Emmanuel's Hammer, Anderson Interfaith Ministries, Lighthouse Ministries, and the United Methodist Volunteers in Mission.
