From east to west, UMCOR is responding to super storms
As Tropical Storm Eta, which was a Category 4 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, crossed over Florida on its way toward the Atlantic Ocean, Typhoon Vamco hit the Philippines with winds equal to a Category 2 hurricane. Both storms have been deadly, causing severe flooding and displacing hundreds of thousands – all during a pandemic.
Eighty years ago, the Methodist community was moved by the mass suffering of men, women and children when war in Europe and the Pacific forced the evacuation, expulsion and deportation of millions of individuals and families from their homes.
Today, UMCOR remains a voice of conscience for the suffering, poor, exploited and displaced around the world. With a focus on disaster preparedness and recovery as well as migration and sustainable development, UMCOR is responding to the needs of yet another historic moment. Be a part of an enduring legacy of hope – give, today.
