Tornado Response

Through UMCOR

Annual Conferences, local congregations and individuals are responding to those impacted by the December 10-11, 2021, tornadoes that swept across six-states. Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, within the SEJ footprint, experienced loss of life and significant property damage.

Annual Conference disaster response organizations are already responding with the support of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). Those wishing to help in this massive disaster response should consult the Annual Conference's website for the region you are most able to help to see specific ways you can be of assistance. In this early stage, financial gifts to UMCOR US Disaster Response and Recovery (Advance Number: 901670) or to a similar fund established by an Annual Conference is the best way to help.

Annual Conference disaster response organizations will communicate (via their AC Website) how, when, and where more "boots on the ground" assistance is needed.
