Helping Globally
As the world continues to grow smaller, our responsibility to partner with others doing good internationally has never been greater. Here are ways to get involved.
United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
UMCOR responds in practical and helpful ways with relief, care and compassion to people around the world who are suffering due to a disaster. UMCOR is very often among the first humanitarian aid organizations on the ground following a disaster. 100% of donations made go to helping those in need, and not to administrative costs.

Miracle Offering Partners
Amos Health and Hope

Through partnerships with communities, churches, individuals, and other organizations, they work alongside vulnerable people to create a world where no child dies from a preventable disease. Through clinics, training, and resource access they bring health and hope to 74,600 people in 25 vulnerable communities in six regions of Nicaragua.

HAnds to Hearts
Hands to Hearts offers life support courses to underserved communities. Katherine Stradling began H2H in 2017, as a response to those who needed medical care in emergency situations. A lack of education and resources meant that people were dying of treatable medical emergencies, so she began to build a first response system and network to offer life-support courses in developing areas across rural Mexico. Theiracility is based in the Baja peninsula in the community of Constitución. They have provided life-support training to more than 3000 individuals and have donated more than 4000 pounds of medical equipment to those in need.
