UMCOR: United Methodist Committee on Relief
Our church supports UMCOR: The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to alleviating human suffering around the globe. UMCOR's work includes programs and projects in disaster response, health, sustainable agriculture, food security, relief supplies, and more.
UMCOR is a ministry of The United Methodist Church through the General Board of Global Ministries, and our goal is to assist the most vulnerable persons affected by crisis or chronic need without regard to their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. We believe all people have God-given worth and dignity.
UMCOR’s work reaches people in more than 80 countries, including the United States. We provide humanitarian relief when war, conflict, or natural disaster disrupt life to such an extent that communities are unable to recover on their own.
While UMCOR cooperates with other aid organizations to extend our reach, our most important partners are the people we serve. We are confident that successful solutions to emergency or chronic conditions begin with the affected population. UMCOR provides these survivors not only temporary relief but long-term education, training, and support.
UMCOR spends 100 percent of designated donations on the projects our donors specify. When UMCOR donors give their time, money, and supplies, they join UMCOR as the hands and feet of Christ.

Serving the Local Community

Settlement House Our church is active in missions in many ways such as helping locally at Settlement House. You can bring donations every Communion Sunday to the church Narthex. We are excited to announce that we have a new wagon for Settlement House. It will be parked in the Annex of the church in order to receive your donations. Please remember to bring your food for Settlement House, our monthly food outreach on Communion Sundays. Especially needed are pop top cans of pasta dinners (such as raviolis and spaghetti), Vienna sausages or tuna. These are given to the homeless daily for lunch. |
