Please note that the Midwest Mission Distribution Center is specifically asking that we NOT assemble the kits, just collect the items needed.

Financial Donations
If you would like to make a financial donation to UMCOR you can do any of the following:
- Write a check to CUMC with UMCOR in the memo line. We will then send UMCOR the money electronically.
- Donate money directly to relief-supply kits, which can also be done electronically [click here].
- Donate on-line directly to UMCOR. If you do this, please use our church code (enter state and zip and it will pop up), so that CUMC will get credit for your donation.
When you donate to UMCOR, 100% of earmarked funds go to disaster relief.
