UMCOR Cleaning Kit Challenge | Sep 30
UMCOR’s (United Methodist Committee on Relief) depot is empty and hurricane season is here. Our goal is to raise $1500 before the end of September to assemble 20 cleaning kits. Additional funds raised will go to more kits or UMCOR National Disaster Relief. Make your donation to Herndon UMC and designate “UMCOR kits” by any of the usual routes–online or by check– or give directly at bit.ly/UMCORKitChallenge. (Note: 2.2% in fees are deducted from online gifts.)
