Mission of the Month - march

Supporting programs that fight hunger and poverty, assist the displaced and respond to disasters. UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)  is a Global Advance.  UMCOR operates a supply depot, located at Sager Brown in Baldwin, Louisiana. UMCOR Sager Brown collaborates with affiliate warehouses within the United Methodist Relief Supply Network in Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Texas. 


Each year, more than 2,000 volunteers prepare approximately $4 million in relief supplies for shipment from the UMCOR Sager Brown Depot in response to disasters in the United States. UMCOR Sager Brown Depot reaches out to its local neighbors through food distribution, housing rehabilitation projects and through other community outreach efforts. Sager Brown  is provides opportunities for both short and long-term volunteers to engage in hands-on mission work. Their participation not only meets their personal need to serve God but it also helps those who are less fortunate and are in their greatest hours of need. Many of our church members have served on mission teams at Sager Brown - as both long-term and short-term volunteers.
