UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)
UMCOR, is the humanitarian relief and development arm of the United Methodist Church. It was first established in 1940 under it's original name, The Methodist Committee on Overseas Relief (MCOR), in response to displaced and vulnerable populations in the wake of World War II.
Over the last 80 years, UMCOR has responded to disasters all of the world including drought and famine in Africa, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Sandy and others, as well as earthquake and tsunamis in the Indian Ocean and multiple tornado disasters here in the United States.
UMCOR's work can be categorized into three major areas:
1. Humanitarian Relief / Disaster Response
2. Sustainable Development
3. Global Health (in collaboration with Global Ministries)
UMCOR's administrative costs are completely supported by congregations of the United Methodist Church so that 100% of donations to UMCOR go straight to relief efforts.
Goddard's Missions team regularly sends Health Kit supplies and School Kit supplies to the UMCOR distribution center at Sager Brown in Baldwin, La.
