UMCOR’s 2007 Calendar is Now Available

NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2007—The United Methodist Committee on Relief announces its 2007 Calendar, Questions of Crisis: Answers of Hope. The 2007 calendar looks into the questions people ask when in the midst of a crisis. Basic needs such as food and housing that many take for granted become complex issues; keeping one’s family together seems impossible; planning past today’s needs becomes a luxury.

UMCOR’s integrated programs consider the root causes of the crisis and answer these questions with hope. They are answers that give hope for greater stability and peacefulness for today and for a better tomorrow.

The 12-month calendar features a collage of rich photographs each month with a vignette illustrating the transforming power of UMCOR’s programs. Calendars are available to order by calling 1-800-305-9857 or ordering online at www.umcorcalendar.org. Each calendar costs $8.50 plus shipping and handling.

The price of the calendars offsets some of the production costs. UMCOR does not use donations designated to UMCOR programs in the US and abroad to produce the calendar. Other funding channels created specifically for projects like the UMCOR calendar.

UMCOR is the not-for-profit global humanitarian aid organization of the United Methodist Church. UMCOR is working 81 countries worldwide, including the United States. Its mission is to alleviate human suffering-whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster, with open hearts and minds to all people.
