Haiti Needs Our Help!

  • On January 12, 2010, Haiti was hit by a massive 7.2 earthquake. Hundred of thousands of lives were lost and just as many were injured. Many families were separated as a result of this catastrophy. With Haiti having very little food, water and medical supplies, we must do our part to help those in need. The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is accepting donations for the recovery of Haiti. To send a donation to help with Haiti's recovery through UMCOR, click here.
