Teens Opposing Poverty
You can serve the homeless in DC with CUMC through Teens Opposing Poverty. Youth prepare, package and distribute food and talk with homeless people through TOP’s street ministry. Our "Cinco de Mayo" TOP Trip, a special occasion where tacos are distributed, is a favorite of CUMC Youth. For more information on TOP, please visit their website at www.teensopposingpoverty.org.
An emergency care form needs to be on file for all Youth TOP participants. You can download a form here.
A day-of permission form is needed for those who already have a form on file. This form needs to be filled out and signed EVERY TOP trip. Forms will be available day-of TOP events or can be downloaded here: day-of-permission-form.
