Disaster Response Contacts
The Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church and its Disaster Response Ministry share in a partnership with United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). The ministry responds by providing immediate relief as well as long term recovery support to address the physical, social, spiritual and emotional needs of individuals and families affected by disasters, locally, nationally, and globally.
