Donation not keeping pace with need - 10/5/2008

Donations for hurricane relief along the Gulf Coast this year are falling far behind the level of need and the usual levels of giving. This is true for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) as well as for other well-known relief organizations, including the Red Cross.

Lack of donations are especially short in response to Hurricane Ike, which struck east Texas, including the Houston and Galveston areas, on September 13, creating the worst disaster on record for the congregations and institutions of the Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church.

The impact of the low level of donations is graphically described in a United Methodist News Service story. Click here to read more. Please use your contacts and your means to boost giving to 2008 hurricane relief.

Gifts may be made through the several regular channels for donations to the Advance. The specific account is UMCOR Advance #3019695, Hurricanes 2008, Hurricane Ike. Up to 10 percent of gifts may be used to support church reconstruction.
