United Methodist Committee On Relief(UMCOR) comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – be it famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire or other events—to alleviate suffering and to be a source of help and hope for those left most vulnerable. We join with them to provide relief, response and long-term recovery grants when these events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.  100% of the money donated to specific disasters supports those relief efforts thanks to a special Sunday each spring when United Methodist Churches globally give to cover all adminsitrative costs.
