UMVIM TEAMS SERVING THOSE IN THE MIDWEST AND SOUTH

Due to all the tornadoes and devastation in the Midwest and the South there is a need to begin now to get ready to go and serve in these areas. The need for volunteers will be lasting over these next few years. Currently, only trained Early Responders are going in on behalf of the United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Committee on Relief. However, volunteers will no doubt be needed in time.

If you want to lead an UMVIM team please continue to monitor this site upcoming team leader trainings. In addition, if you want to simply join a future UMVIM team, please note that such postings will also be on this site. In addition, you can connect with your annual conference UMVIM Conference Coordinator listed on the right-hand side of your screen.

The UMVIM WJ office encourages all those who want to help to visit the following websites of annual conferences that have been hit by storms. They are the best places to find out what needs these conferences have. More information will come in on this website as it is received. Thank you all for your service and prayers!
