Let us join our hearts with believers from across this country in prayer for the people of Louisiana and the surrounding states that have been, are, and will be in the path of Hurricane Ida.
If you feel God's nudging to help in some way there are multiple places where you can make a donation to assist those affected. I highly suggest making monetary donations to UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee On Relief.
100% of all funds donated go directly to those affected. UMCOR does not keep any portion of the donations for overhead or other expenses. All of UMCOR's operating expenses are covered through giving to the local church.
The link to give directly to Hurricane Ida assistance is at the bottom of the post.
Donations of any size, from $5 to $5000 or more would be a great help to those in need due to Hurricane Ida.
At this time, the best and most effective means of donating is through monetary donations. UMCOR is able to negotiate for large-scale purchases, so the money you give goes significantly further in helping than if we were to individually purchase items and transport them to the nearest warehouse.

We pray for the people of Louisiana and surrounding states as Category 4 Hurricane Ida nears and makes landfall on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
UMCOR is monitoring the extreme winds and storm surge Ida could bring. In coordination with conference disaster response coordinators, UMCOR will assess the storm’s impact and respond to immediate needs.
