Over the past week, people across the Midwest U.S. have been impacted by historic levels of flash flooding and severe storms. At least seven people have died, and thousands of residents have been affected by devastating home and infrastructure damage.

UMCOR is responding to the needs of these individuals and families through solidarity grants to the West Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church and the Indiana Conference of The United Methodist Church - INUMC, which will amplify their relief efforts as they distribute supplies and support local churches that are preparing and distributing food and helping residents with flood clean-up.

We've heard from many people asking how they can help right now.

Please hold off on sending any physical help like clothes, food, even water. Evacuation centers and relief organizations are being inundated with supplies, much of which is not needed right now.

The best thing to do right now is to give financially. There are three United Methodist Funds that will go to support our relief efforts:

- UMCOR - United Methodist Committee On Relief (https://bit.ly/umcorusdr) This is a US disaster relief fund and we've already received word that we're getting a grant from this fund for Spokane Disaster Relief.
- The Pacific Northwest Conference of The United Methodist Church (https://secure.givelively.org/donate/pacific-northwest-conference-of-the-united-methodist-church/pacific-northwest-conference-disaster-fund-advance-352) This is fund is more regional and is also contributing supplies and equipment to relief efforts.

Our Church has also set up a fund to help families from our church as well as others in our community impacted by the wildfires. You can give to the Audubon Park Church fund here: https://subsplash.com/u/audubonparkunitedmethodi/give? (please select the "Spokane Wildfire Relief 2026" fund).

Thank you to everyone who is reaching out to help out and support those who've been evacuated and who have lost their homes. We'll share more ways to help in the coming days and weeks.

In response to the catastrophic flash flooding that occurred along the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, UMCOR is awarding a solidarity grant to support United Mission Nepal as they aid impacted communities in Dhading and Nuwakot districts with emergency food and non-food item (NFI) assistance. Alongside this grant, UMCOR is continuing to explore opportunities for further response through our partner networks and local assessments.

Please remain in prayer for these communities as the toll of this disaster continues to worsen. Authorities now report that at least 579 people have died and 1,924 people remain missing, with these numbers expected to grow as some areas remain inaccessible. Search and rescue teams are still working to reach communities cut off by the disaster, with damaged roads, landslides, and communications disruptions hindering relief operations and making it difficult to fully assess needs.

We lift up this call for prayer, presence, and continued accompaniment from the Rev. Jung Eun Grace Moon, general secretary of the Christian Conference of Asia, ecumenical partner of The United Methodist Church: “In this time of profound loss and suffering, may God’s comforting presence draw near to all those affected, embrace those who grieve, strengthen those who search and serve, shelter those who have lost their homes and kindle a light of hope amid the darkness.”
