UMCOR - United Methodist Committee On Relief UMCOR is the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, dedicated to alleviating human suffering around the world.
(3268)

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to alleviating human suffering around the globe. UMCOR’s work reaches people in more than 80 countries, including the United States. We provide humanitarian relief when war, conflict, or natural disaster disrupt life to such an extent that communities are unable to recover on their own. UMCOR is a ministry of The United Methodist Church, and our goal is to assist the most vulnerable persons affected by crisis or chronic need without regard to their race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. We believe all people have God-given worth and dignity. While UMCOR cooperates with other aid organizations to extend our reach, our most important partners are the people we serve. We are confident that successful solutions to emergency or chronic conditions begin with the affected population. UMCOR provides these survivors not only temporary relief but long-term education, training, and support. UMCOR spends 100 percent of designated donations on the projects our donors specify. When UMCOR donors give their time, money, and supplies, they join UMCOR as the hands and feet of Christ.

Join us in prayer for Panama after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck the country's Azuero Peninsula today, with significant damage and severe injuries reported in the Veraguas, Herrera, and Los Santos provinces. We pray especially for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods, and for the first responders assisting evacuees and those who have been injured.

UMCOR is in communication with our regional partners and we stand ready to support their relief and recovery efforts as needed.

The first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season, Isaias, is expected to impact the Gulf Coast this weekend. Currently a Category 3 storm, Isaias is expected to rapidly intensify before landfall, bringing hurricane-force winds, heavy rainfall, and life-threatening storm surge to parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle.

As communities brace for impact, here's how you can take action:
🚨 Prepare: For those in the path, listen to shelter-in-place guidelines and evacuation notices from local officials.
🛐 Pray: Join us in prayer for the communities that may be impacted by this storm and for the first responders who will respond to their needs.
📲 Share: Help get the word out about the dangerous potential of this storm and encourage others to pray.
👐 Give: A donation to UMCOR supports our disaster response efforts, including preparedness, across the U.S.: bit.ly/umcorusdr

As the Alabama-West Florida Conference UMC and The Mississippi United Methodist Conference mobilize and coordinate response efforts, UMCOR stands ready to support their relief and recovery work for the long haul.
