Salem Diaper Pantry
Salem Diaper Pantry
The Salem Community Diaper Pantry is a ministry of Salem United Methodist Church and was started to help struggling families in our community by reducing their cost for diapers. While we will work to fill the needs of those in our local Salem community and Saline County first, the diaper pantry is open to all residents in Central Arkansas.

Stone Soup
Stone Soup
The EPIC Youth regularly serve at a Quapaw Quarter UMC in Little Rock to cook and serve a meal to the homeless in the area. The more hands they have the better, so anyone is able to join! Anyone younger than 7th grade must be accompanied by an adult. They go and serve on the first Sunday of even number months and meet at 12:45 in the church parking lot. The church van departs at 1 pm and the group returns no later than 5 pm.
If you aren't able to come and help serve, the ministry has expanded to also take NEW socks to pass out to the people in need. They were so grateful for the socks in October, they are continuing it for December.
