Mission:  To alleviate human suffering - whether caused by war, conflict, or natural disaster - with open minds and hearts to all people.

Strategy:  UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters that are of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own.  UMCOR partners with local organizations and survivors to rebuild their livelihoods, health, and homes.  UMCOR workers are known all over the world for their compassion, leadership, expertise and guidance in recovery efforts.

Operations:  UMCOR is working in 81 countries worldwide, including the United States.  "Wherever and whenever we are needed, we will Be There.  And we will Be Hope.

UNCOR utilizes thousands of volunteers every year.  In fact, in 2006 at the Sager Brown depot and mission center in Louisiana alone, 3,031 volunteers prepared more than 300 tons of disaster relief supplies for shipping all over the globe.

Finances:  UMCOR is a good steward of your gifts and grants.  Private donars can designate their gifts to UMCOR programs with the assurance that 100% will be spent on the programs.
