Haiti Relief Efforts

Marvin Guier. Please use fund #277.  For online donations, go to www.umcorhaiti.org

Relief Kits Ministry

Many churches have assembled relief kits - including health kits, birthing kits, school kits, and more. This is a year around need for Haiti and other destinations as well. For more information on how to assemble kits, go to www.umcor.org and click on the Relief Kits tab.  

Howe United Methodist Church has a trailer that they will store your kits in until they make another trip to the UMCOR Depot in Baldwin, Louisiana.  To arrange to drop off kits, please contact the church directly.  Their address, phone number, and a map is available here on our website under the main page and the link to "churches".
