NEW YORK (UMNS) — Want to donate to help the victims of Superstorm Sandy? Think UMCOR. The United Methodist Committee on Relief is there now and will continue to help. Every dollar you give to UMCOR goes directly to help people, none for overhead/salaries, etc.

United Methodists are just beginning their response to Sandy’s wreckage in the Caribbean and in the United States. To help, you can donate to Hurricanes 2012, UMCOR Advance #3021787. You can also text the word RESPONSE to 80888 to give an immediate $10 donation.

United Methodist News Service will continue to monitor the aftermath of Sandy and report on storm damage. Updates will appear on www.umcconnections.org.

You can also donate directly by check to your local United Methodist Church, specify Sandy storm relief on the memo line.
