What is UMCOR?
The United Methodist Committee on Relief was established by the Methodist Church in 1940 in response to the needs arising from World War II. What began as a temporary relief unit became a permanent part of The United Methodist Church in 1972 as a unit of the General Board of Global Ministries. Today, UMCOR supports work in more than 80 countries with a direct presence through UMCOR NGO in 11 of those countries. UMCOR’s work includes development, agriculture, food security, emergency response, immigration assistance, relief supplies and more. To learn more visit our About UMCOR page.
