How can Cal-Pac help?

We’ve all watched the devasting effects of Hurricane Helene over the last week, and prayed for our friends, families, and siblings in Christ who are without homes, power, water; who have lost so much and have a long road ahead.

We’ve set up a fund to collect donations that will be sent to our sibling conferences who are in desperate need. You can also download the video message from Bishop Escobedo-Frank above to share with your congregations.

EARLY RESPONSE TEAMS

UMCOR is putting together early response teams, and looking for volunteers. If you can help on the ground, please reach out to Karl Ports, Cal-Pac Disaster Response Task Force Chair, 619-823-8424 or kports95@gmail.com, or Rev. Dr. Denyse Barnes, Director of JCEMT, dbarnes@calpacumc.org to get connected.
