The United Methodist
Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is the not-for-profit global humanitarian
aid organization of the United Methodist Church. UMCOR is working in
more than 80 countries worldwide, including the United States. Our
mission, grounded in the teachings of Jesus, is to alleviate human
suffering—whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster, with open
hearts and minds to all people. UMCOR responds to natural or civil
disasters that are interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a
community's ability to recover on its own.
Partnership
UMCOR partner with local partner organizations and survivors to
rebuild their livelihoods, health and homes. In times of acute crisis
we mobilize emergency supplies, fresh water, and temporary shelter to
stricken areas, and then stay as long as it takes to implement long-term
recovery. Our workers are known all over the globe for their compassion,
leadership, expertise and guidance in recovery efforts.
Connections
UMCOR works through programs that address hunger, poverty,
sustainable agriculture, international and domestic emergencies, refugee
and immigrant concerns, global health issues, and transitional
development. United Methodist hearts and hands are part of every program
implemented; school kit, seed, health kit, fresh water and tool
distributed in the US and throughout the world; and every new house,
well, clinic and school rebuilt after catastrophes of conflict or
nature. Most importantly, our work connects us in a global network of
generous donors and equally generous beneficiaries.
Funding Promise-100% Efficient
Every dollar you give to UMCOR goes to the program you designate.
UMCOR is 100% efficient. No administrative costs, that is taken care of
out of the local church’s apportionments.
