MISSION FOCUS

UMCOR

Offering wellness services & outreach to homeless individuals & families.

“As the humanitarian relief and development arm of The United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Committee on Relief – UMCOR – assists United Methodists and churches to become involved globally in direct ministry to persons in need. UMCOR comes alongside those who suffer from natural or human-caused disasters – famine, hurricane, war, flood, fire, or other events—to alleviate suffering and serve as a source of help and hope for the vulnerable. UMCOR provides relief, response, and long-term recovery grants when events overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on their own. UMCOR also provides technical support and training for partners to address emerging and ongoing issues related to disaster relief, recovery, and long-term health and development.” Current responses are U.S. and International disaster relief, Ukraine response, U.S Hurricane response, Aid to migration and refugees and others.

Community Volunteer Tool
 
The Baltimore County Department of Aging Volunteer Center has developed an online tool for volunteers.
 
The Baltimore County Volunteer Center Portal will serve as a central hub for volunteer recruitment in the Greater Baltimore
and Maryland community.
 
The free portal aims to make it easier for nonprofit organizations to connect directly with potential volunteers, eliminating the need for cold calling or emailing. People interested in volunteering would also find opportunities more easily by simply heading to the portal and searching the more than 80 organizations that have listed their needs there.
 
Organizations listing their needs on the portal include service-learning projects, court-appointed agencies, and local volunteer groups spotlighting their initiatives. They can also register their agency and post their volunteer needs directly on the portal for free. All organizations large or small are encouraged to avail themselves of this resource.
