Dear fellow Mentor UMC members:

The recent and massive destruction of life and property by Hurricane Helene on the East Coast and Gulf Coast pulls at all our hearts and leaves us wondering what we can do to help in relief.  If you are like Laurie and me, we have several friends and relatives who are among those that have suffered losses.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is already there with our trained Early Response Teams helping coordinate bringing supplies and directing teams where they are needed most.

If you are so moved, you can contribute to UMCOR through Mentor United Methodist Church by making out a check to our church with “UMCOR” in the memo line or you can give electronically through our website (there is a drop down specifically noting UMCOR).  Know that 100% of your giving to UMCOR is used directly for relief both here and around the world.  Administrative costs of UMCOR are covered through our apportionments and through other means.

If you would like to learn more about UMCOR, you can go to https://umcmission.org/umcor/

Thank You and Blessings!
