UMCOR

March Outreach – UMCOR

As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief – UMCOR – assists United Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training.Your gifts to Global Ministries and UMCOR make a significant impact in the lives of individuals and communities around the world. We will be supporting the “where most needed” fund this year that allows UMCOR to respond to needs around the world, be it for immediate disaster response or for long-term recovery. Your gift to these priority funds allows us to participate in missio Dei—God’s mission—whenever and wherever the need arises.partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.
