Outreach Ministries
Providence Home is now in its tenth year of operation as the Emergency Shelter for youth in Brunswick County. The years have gone by rather quickly but not uneventfully. Ten years ago, the board of directors of the Family Emergency Teen Shelter, motivated by a desire to help youth in crisis, prepared a safe and loving place for all who needed to come. They named it Providence Home. A decade later, that home continues to fulfill its mission to protect and provide for children in need of out-of-home placement.
Since opening its doors on November 19, 1997, Providence Home has provided shelter, food and clothing and attended to the medical, educational, recreational, and spiritual needs of several hundred Brunswick County youth.

One our major projects last year was the construction of a new house in the Rocky Point area for a person who lost her home to a Tornado in August 2005. The Wrightsboro UMC office also serves as the office for WARM.

The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) is the not-for-profit global humanitarian aid organization of the United Methodist Church. UMCOR is working in more than 80 countries worldwide, including the United States. Our mission, grounded in the teachings of Jesus, is to alleviate human suffering whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster, with open hearts and minds to all people.
UMCOR responds to natural or civil disasters that are interruptions of such magnitude that they overwhelm a community's ability to recover on its own.
Partnership
We partner with local partner organizations and survivors to rebuild their livelihoods, health and homes. In times of acute crisis we mobilize emergency supplies, fresh water, and temporary shelter to stricken areas, and then stay as long as it takes to implement long-term recovery. Our workers are known all over the globe for their compassion, leadership, expertise and guidance in recovery efforts.
Connections
UMCOR works through programs that address hunger, poverty, sustainable agriculture, international and domestic emergencies, refugee and immigrant concerns, global health issues, and transitional development. United Methodist hearts and hands are part of every program implemented; school kit, seed, health kit, fresh water and tool distributed in the US and throughout the world; and every new house, well, clinic and school rebuilt after catastrophes of conflict or nature.
Most importantly, our work connects us in a global network of generous donors and equally generous beneficiaries.
Funding Promise-100% Efficient
Every dollar you give to UMCOR goes to the program you designate. UMCOR is 100% efficient.
The One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering allows us to make and to keep this promise. OGHS funds the cost of doing business for UMCOR. We do not receive apportionment funds or any other world service funds.
