During November, FUMCAH is supporting the work of UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief). UMCOR provides humanitarian relief and disaster response in the United States and internationally. Their efforts are targeted in places where natural disasters, war, or conflict have done so much damage that communities are unable to recover on their own. In addition, UMCOR helps communities in the United States and abroad prepare for emergencies and address issues of health, sanitation, poverty, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and food security. Many development problems are interrelated, so UMCOR uses integrated solutions to address their root causes. UMCOR seeks to empower local hospitals, schools, churches, and other stakeholders by enhancing their capacity to address these issues.

UMCOR and its partners are responding to disasters around the world every day. They are providing humanitarian aid to those affected by war in Israel/Gaza and Ukraine, earthquakes in Afghanistan and Morocco, flooding in Syria and Haiti, and many other humanitarian crises, including those closer to home such as hurricane Idalia in Florida and the fires in Hawaii.
