Haiti Emergencies, UMCOR Advance #418325

Haiti Hot Lunch Program UMCOR Advance #418790

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. In response to last year's devastating tropical storm Jeanne and resulting floods, UMCOR established an official presence in Haiti. Although United Methodists have worked in Haiti for years-particularly through the Methodist Church in Haiti-this is the first time UMCOR has undertaken the legal process of registering as a non-governmental organization there.

The Hot Lunch Program provides a hot meal for nearly 17,000 school children every day. For many the meal of rice, beans, and local produce is the only food they eat each day.

We're 100% efficient.  Every dollar you give to this emergency will provide humanitarian relief and recovery only for this emergency.  That's because gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering covers UMCOR's costs to administer your gifts.
