Additional Drop Off Locations for UMCOR Health Kits

The New England Conference has set up drop off locations in each district so that individual churches do not have to ship kits directly to the UMCOR depot at Sager-Brown or to Mission Central in PA. The following sites are available to accept Health Kits for UMCOR. Please call the site to arrange a date and time for drop off. Click Here for Health Kit content information.

News From The Together For Tomorrow Campaign Office

End of Year Giving Statements for Tax Reporting Purposes were mailed from the Together for Tomorrow Campaign office in Lawrence, MA on Thursday, January 28, 2010. If you have not received your statement within a reasonable time after Jan. 28th, please contact the campaign office at 978-682-8055 Ext. 151 to request that a duplicate statement be mailed.

February reminder letters were also mailed on Thursday, January 28, 2010. However, if you made your February payment in January, we are just starting to post pledge payments received in January, so please forgive if you receive a reminder letter for a payment you have already made. (The delay in posting January receipts is due to needing to process and mail the End of Year Statement by the deadline of January 31st.)

Pledge payments received in January 2010 please forgive the delay in sending out thank you letters for payments received thus far during the month of January. They will be posted ASAP now that the end of the year statements are completed, and thank you letters will be sent out shortly.

Thank you for your continued participation and support of this important campaign.
