Financial Donations

We will not know for some time the financial resources that will be needed to respond in the 5 counties in our Conference that have been most affected by the recent storm. When we have a clearer picture of the need, we will consult with the Bishop on asking for a special offering. Until that time, we do have funds available to respond to immediate needs and the offer of emergency funds from UMCOR as needed.

If persons do make gifts, we have a standing Conference Advance Special that provides aid during relief and long-term recovery, as well as, training in preparedness before disasters occur. Checks can be made out to Tennessee Conference UMC, designated TN Conference Disaster Response, and be sent by the church treasurer to Administrative Services.

Please keep the affected persons and their communities in your thoughts and prayers.

Grace and Peace
