Maui Disaster Relief

Wind-driven wildfires on Maui have prompted evacuations and caused significant loss of life and widespread damage. UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee on Relief) is coordinating with the California-Pacific Annual Conference to process an initial grant for emergency supplies such as shelf-stable food, water, hygiene items and tools to help survivors recover belongings. As first responders continue to provide initial aid in the area, please join UMCOR in prayer for those affected. Gifts can be made in the following ways:

Through St. Matthew's

• Via the St. Matthew's Online Giving Portal. (Available 8/29)

• Place a check in the offering plate or drop it off in the church office. Checks should be made out to Global Ministries/UMCOR with Advance #901670-Hawaii written on the memo line.

Directly through UMCOR

• Call toll-free to make a donation: 1-888-252-6174

• Online at UMC Mission

• Mail a check to Global Ministries/UMCOR, GPO, P.O. Box 9068, New York, NY, 10087-9068.

When you give through UMCOR, 100% of your donation goes to those impacted by the disaster to which you are directing your gift. Our church apportionments cover any administrative costs for UMCOR. No other charity or disaster response agency can claim this.
