March 31
st
is UMCOR Sunday
Natural disasters continue to strike locally and globally. This week, states in the Great Plains that border the Missouri River Basin are experiencing devastating, historic flooding. In Africa, the people of Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe are facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis almost two weeks after Cyclone Idai ravaged the area.
As responders around the globe scramble to offer aid, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, UMCOR, is already prepared to act. The response of
UMCOR isn’t something “they” do, it’s something “we” do; together we are assisting those impacted by crisis or chronic need.
Generous giving to
UMCOR Sunday (formerly One Great Hour of Sharing) is what allows
UMCOR to act quickly and compassionately in response to to human suffering. In fact, it’s your generous giving that allows us to respond when disaster strikes.
