During the first week of October, Hurricane Helene spread devastation in six United Methodist
Conferences in southeastern states. Then on October 9, Hurricane Milton ravaged Florida for a
second time. Among the worst areas hit, the FEMA designated disaster areas in North Carolina
includes more than 20 counties in the western part of the state and now parts of central Florida.
Please join us in our efforts to offer assistance, and keep those in affected communities in your
prayers.
The purpose of this letter is to ask your church to consider having a special offering to
assist UMCOR as they reach out to the impacted conferences. One hundred percent of your
gifts to UMCOR’s US Disaster Relief will go to the affected communities.
Please consider sending monetary donations through the links below. Money is what they need
most and is the more efficient use of donations when they can be purchased locally. This has a
more positive impact both on the cost of recovery efforts and benefits the local economy.
Your church may consider having a special offering one Sunday just for Disaster support -
