UMCSC Disaster Recovery accompanies communities in need over the long haul of their recovery until a new normal is established after a crisis. It works with homeowners to fill in the gap between their resources and their unmet needs.

Much of the hands-on work is performed by volunteers from across the state and nation.

The Hurricane Florence Disaster Recovery Team is focusing its efforts in the upper Pee Dee and Grand Strand area. We will be working to provide recovery efforts for more than 230 households over the next two years.

We have wonderful opportunities here in our own state for mission and outreach work that will have lasting impact on our neighbors. Just as we are called to love the Lord, through disaster recovery we have many opportunities to love our neighbors as well.
