UMCOR Celebrates 70 Years of Hope
In 1940, Bishop Herbert Welch issued a challenge to establish a “voice of conscience among Methodists to act in the relief of human suffering without distinction of race, color, or creed.” For 70 years, United Methodists have responded to that challenge, spreading hope to God’s most vulnerable people, through UMCOR. United Methodists continue to be the hands and feet of Christ by welcoming the stranger, promoting global health, rebuilding homes and lives affected by civil and natural disasters, and assembling school kits and other material resources for people around the world. UMCOR’s mission, following Christ's mandate, is to alleviate human suffering with open hearts to all people. UMCOR provides emergency relief in many areas of the world.
