Monroe County United Ministries is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been providing social services in Monroe County since 1939. Currently MCUM provides affordable childcare to working families and basic needs assistance to Monroe County residents in crisis. Current United Ministries News Help MCUM face the Feinstein Challenge! All food and financial donations received in March
and April are eligible for the Feinstein Challenge. This challenge is
supported by the Feinstein
Foundation of Rhode Island, which distributes $1,000,000 annually to
agencies across the country who are fighting hunger in their local
community. MCUM will receive a portion of that match, with your help.
