In response to the Earthquake on March 10, 2011 that struck Japan, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) will be working with local communities to rebuild. UMCOR is now better able to help when earthquakes and tsunamis or other disasters hit the area. UMCOR works in shelter and infrastructure reconstruction, water and sanitation, income generation, health and nutrition, education and community development.
UMCOR is working through relief and church partners in Japan to respond to and provide immediate assistance and long-term rehabilitation. With these partners, UMCOR is meeting the most basic humanitarian needs in northern Japan such as providing clean drinking water, food, cooking and eating supplies, clothing, and fuel for heating.
Through UMCOR, 100% of donations go directly to help aid those in need. For the next few weeks during our Sunday worship service, Christ Church will be taking a special offering to help our brothers and sisters in Japan. Please plan to give in Church on Sunday or go to this secure website to donate:
