First United Methodist Church

UMCOR Cleaning Kits

     The United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR) works diligently to help communities after disasters. Having supplies available in their warhorses to be shipped immediately to communities following tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and other disasters allows for an immediate response to these communities. One important resource used by front line workers are Cleaning Kit. Each kit is valued at about $75 and contains a variety of supplies to help the clean up process.

​Individuals and groups from First Church are invited to create these cleaning kits.
