MUMC has supported this mission since the 1970's with our church being the third and fourth highest donor in the East Ohio Conference.

OGHS is the major fund raising branch of UMCOR to initiate and support  special projects in specific areas of the world having disasters.  Funds which are collected in one year are used to respond to disasters throughout the world  which occur the following year and which disasters cause people to become homeless refugees.

The disasters may be natural or man-made (hurricanes, flooding, drought, famine, contagious diseases and destruction by wars.)

The Mission Committee promotes UMCOR along with emergency projects which need funding when the prior year’s funds are exhausted.
