UM ARMY 

United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth (UM ARMY) provides Christ-centered missions that serve people in need and promote spiritual growth and leadership development in youth and young adults.

We are reaching out to all our partners in mission to let them know how we are re-imaging UM Army for 2020 & to ask for a gift of support to keep U.M. ARMY in operation this summer and in the future.  If you had a mission planned for this summer, instead we are offering a virtual mission opportunity for groups, individuals and/or families. The cost is minimal and provides a structure for mission work in your own communities. If you are interested in learning more about this, please click on the link above.  Contact United Methodist Action Reach-out Mission by Youth, 914-330-2599 or ginagrubbs@umarmy.org for more information.

Appalachia Service Project (ASP)

Even though ASP has suspended its volunteer program because of COVID-19 until August 2020, your gift today will ensure that ASP is able to continue serving families in need of home repair or replacement during the summer of 2020, utilizing essential staff and contractors.
