HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF & RECOVERY SUPPORT

With the devastation of Hurricane Helene, our neighbors in the western part of our state are/ will be in need of many things. Number one is Prayer, with that being said, there are multiple ways to support our brothers and sisters in the mountains:

You can give directly to MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH (MUMC) by CREDIT CARD HERE (please scroll under “Fund” and choose “WNCC- Hurricane Relief” or “UMCOR” in order to give to disaster relief) OR write a CHECK to “MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH” and note in the MEMO LINE that you are designating the funds to go to: (“HURRICANE RELIEF” OR “WNCC” OR “UMCOR“).  We will make sure that your donations go to the proper agency.

ALSO, you can give directly to the WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE (WNCC) by CREDIT CARD HERE OR if you would rather give by CHECK (and want to send it directly), make your check payable to “WNCC Treasurer”, note on the MEMO LINE: “Disaster Response” and mail to:
