Community Resources

Dundee United Methodist church operates a community food pantry and offers limited emergency financial assistance. However, because our resources are limited, if have significant needs we encourage you to contact the local Salvation Army, Red Cross, or Catholic Social Services. You might also want to check the extensive services listed for Polk County on the Florida Coalition for the Homeless website.

Dundee UMC is a medium sized congregation that serves the central Florida area of Dundee, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Haines City, Auburndale, and Davenport, but people travel as far as Lakeland and Poinciana to attend. We offer meaningful worship, biblically based preaching, relevant Christian education, and engaging opportunities for service.
