Youth Mission Week with UMARMY

United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth (U.M. ARMY) is a unique mission opportunity for youth, young adults, and adult mentors. We invite you to participate with other church groups and individuals to combine your skills, talents, and resources to do God’s work. We will spend the week working together in identified communities to meet home repair and maintenance needs for those unable to pay for or to physically do the work for themselves. We will worship, learn from one another, share fellowship, and build relationships with our neighbors in need of assistance as well as their communities.

Trucksville, PA July 10-16, 2022

Remote (from home) Mission Opportunity

There is an ongoing need to recruit phone volunteers that are trained and ready when a disaster strikes. It is very difficult to bring someone up to speed while going through a disaster and it is beneficial for them to do the minimal training in advance and be prepared.

Phone volunteers are the first line of responders who lend an ear and record their needs. This vital work helps organize information that is provided to relief organizations and disaster teams, allowing them to reach the survivors and meet their needs much quicker.

Phone volunteering is a great COVID-safe way to do meaningful service and training will be provided. If you have a phone and a computer with internet access, you can participate in the important mission opportunity from the comfort of your home.

Contact Doug Hoy, Conference Disaster Response Coordinator, if you are interested in serving, call (717) 766-7441, extension 3402, or email - drc@susumc.org include "Crisis Cleanup" in the subject line.
