HAITI
|
United Methodists have had a long-standing relationship with Haiti
through the Methodist Church of Haiti. The strong ties between the
Methodist Church of Haiti and The United Methodist Committee on Relief
(UMCOR) helped in facilitating the opening of the UMCOR Haiti field
office in 2005. 100 percent of Advance gifts made will go to support
relief and development efforts due to emergencies in Haiti.
Responding To The Need... Haiti needs help. If you can assist... make a check out to GRACE UMC. In the memo section put, UMCOR Advance #418325-Haiti.
UMCOR WebsiteUMCOR also needs health kits to distribute to Haitian earthquake victims. Grace families, individuals,
youth, children, men, or women can put together kits for about
$8-12. A list in Fellowship Hall describes specific items like soap,
hand towels, etc. You may also donate money to a United Methodist
Woman in Fellowship Hall, and the UMW will do the kits. Bring kits to
the office or parlor as soon as possible through February. |
