Intown Collaborative Ministries
Druid Hills United Methodist Church is an core congregation participating with Intown Collaborative Ministries.
"Intown Collaborative Ministries' vision is to transform the neighborhood we serve, seeing that the hungry are fed and the homeless are housed. We believe that a healthy neighborhood is one where residents, businesses, faith communities, and non-profits, come together to serve each other for the benefit of all. To that end, our Mission is to serve as a good neighbor to all with whom we share the Intown community, especially those experiencing poverty, hunger, and homelessness."

On Helping:
Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.”
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
