We watch with worry and grief as wildfires continue to rage in the LA area, and our hearts go out to our fellow United Methodists and others facing evacuations and loss.

If you are looking for ways to help those impacted the fires, we encourage you to donate through the United Methodist Committee on Relief. Through UMCOR, we as a denomination are often first on the ground in the midst of natural disasters, wars, and other crises. UMCOR works with local partners both in the States and abroad to best meet the needs of the communities they serve.

The overhead costs for UMCOR are funded in full by our (and others’) apportionments so that every dollar you donate goes directly to help folks on the ground.
