UMCOR Sunday March 10th
UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief, responds to disasters and other
work that alleviates human suffering around the United States as well as around
the world.
UMCOR Sunday is March 10, a time when our gifts support their administrative
costs. The offerings we give for UMCOR Sunday will make sure that 100% of gifts
designated for a specific need will go entirely for that designated need.
You can contribute on our church website’s Online Giving page at
https://fairwoodumc.org/give/.
You can also donate via cash or check (payable to FCUMC). Just note that it’s for
UMCOR Sunday.
