The South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church is hiring for several Disaster Recovery positions as the conference’s response to Hurricane Florence ramps up.
The goal of UMCSC Disaster Recovery is to accompany communities in need over the long haul of their recovery until a “new normal” is established after a crisis. It works with homeowners who might be on fixed incomes, can’t afford insurance, and don’t qualify for federal disaster assistance.
The conference is accepting applications for these positions:
