UMCOR
When a tsunami hits Japan or an earthquake shatters Haiti, we all want to help. And UMCOR does. We at First Church support the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) an organization at work in more than 80 countries worldwide, including the United States. UMCOR started during WWII and the goal is simple: alleviate human suffering.
UMCOR works through programs that address hunger, poverty, sustainable agriculture, international and domestic emergencies, refugee and immigrant concerns, global health issues, and transitional development.
Its workers are known all over the globe for their compassion, leadership, expertise and guidance.
