In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Beds for Kids at Mason City First UMC - Our Beds for Kids mission objective is to offer a warm, safe sleeping environment and a sense of ownership to children in need. Working with local agencies providing referral, we provide a brand new complete twin bed, frame, mattress, and bedding to every child who has been referred to us. Children who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor, couch or doubled up with family members are now able to feel a sense of ownership in their new comfortable beds. Our approach is a "no strings attached" method; There are no prerequisites, no judgments, and no obligations. Our mission is purely about ensuring the comfort and well-being of children in our community. If you would like to donate in Carol’s name, click here: https://masoncityfirst.com/
