UMCOR Blankets

UMCOR is the United Methodist Committee on Relief, and unlike many other agencies that work to bring relief to areas of the country and world hit hardest by natural disasters and other tragic events, UMCOR donates 100% of the designated offerings of individuals to the cause.  We have a special Sunday each year when United Methodist churches donate to cover their operating costs to make this possible.  As October approaches, so does the cooler weather, and your donations in October of blankets can help people in adverse situations across the globe to stay warm.  More details as we get closer to October.
