April 2025

The United Methodist Committee on Relief of Global Ministries (UMCOR) recently approved a $10,000 solidarity grant requested by the TWKUMC.

These funds will be implemented in the Tennessee-Western Kentucky Conference between April 09, 2025, and July 31, 2025, to directly assist survivors affected by the tornadoes and flooding in early April.

We are grateful for the connectional relationship with UMCOR. It benefits our conference as well as others in stages of early disaster response and relief as well as in the later recovery stages.

Currently, UMCOR is supporting 16 Conferences (in 15 states) in response to recent events, providing relief.  UMCOR is providing Solidarity grants, relief supplies, and/or support through staff and consultants.

UMCOR is supporting 27 Conferences in recovery (22 states and 1 territory).  UMCOR supports those conferences with grants, training, technical assistance and/or consultations.  Of those, 20 are engaged in Disaster Case Management.

So far in 2025, UMCOR has provided 12 solidarity grants responding to 2 fires, 2 tornadoes, 7 flooding events, and 1 winter storm.
