THANK YOU FROM MISSIONS & OUTREACHThank you to everyone who donated items to the Louisiana flood disaster response. We collected 25 – 50 of each item requested by UMCOR, including rakes, box fans, garden sprayers, flat-bill shovels and extension cords. Those items were delivered by the Tennessee Conference to aid early responders in the cleanup efforts happening across Louisiana. Please continue to keep our brothers and sisters affected by the floods in your prayers. Contact Rev. David Ssebulime at [email protected] to learn more about the collection.

Love In Deed Ministry Highlight: UMCOR Disaster Response & Open Table Nashville
UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community’s ability to recover on its own. Through UMCOR, United Methodists extend loving care to people in the United States, Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. In its holistic response to disasters, UMCOR offers disaster preparedness training, provides essential supplies and care – both physical and psychological – in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, and supports long-term rebuilding efforts and assists communities as they adapt.
Open Table Nashville is a non-profit, interfaith community that disrupts cycles of poverty, journeys with the marginalized, and provides education about issues of homelessness. OTN is one of the leaders of How’s Nashville, a communitywide and collaborative effort to end chronic homelessness in Nashville, and provides families and individuals with the things they will need for their new homes.
