Help with UMCOR Disaster Response in Texas
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on its own. Through UMCOR, United Methodists extend loving care to people within the United States. When disaster strikes, it is local churches that provide the first response to their communities. This basic understanding—that disaster response is local—forms the foundation for UMCOR’s U.S. disaster training and response.
 
You can support the UMCOR Disaster response by sending a check to BUMC with the memo earmarked Advance #901670 to assist people in Texas and other states.
