If you are in need of assistance, please call our helpline: (615) 270-9255.
Our teams work out of each conference district under the direction of the Disaster Response Coordinator (DRC) for the TWK Conference, Robert Craig.
We are in partnership with the local, county, and state Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and many other disaster response organizations. Please note: All volunteer teams need to register with us before deploying to any disaster-affected area.
Be prepared! Resources for how to plan and prepare before a storm hits can be found on this page offered by our partner VOAD in the Nashville area.
If you need to report storm damage to our disaster response team or are interested in deploying to assist in areas affected by recent storms, please email our team at disasterresponse@twkumc.org. Please do not self-deploy to another UMC conference without invitation.
Please note our updated mailing address: P.O. Box 520, McEwen, TN 37101
Give Where it is Most Needed
TWKUMC Disaster Recovery
When the TWKUMC is directly affected by a disaster, we ask that you donate to the TWK Disaster Recovery fund, so donations can be quickly utilized by our team to assist survivors with their immediate and longer-term needs.
In cases where disasters hit our sister conferences, we encourage you to donate to UMCOR or directly to the affected UM Conference.
Ongoing disaster preparedness training is funded through the connectional commitments made by our local churches.
Donations immediately help those affected by recent storms in the TWK Conference area and support our teams when they deploy to nearby sister conferences.
You may give online using the button above or by mail at the address below.
Checks can be made out and mailed to the Conferencia Tennessee-Kentucky Occidental (please note Disaster Response in the memo line).
