Disaster Response Still Needs Your Support! Volunteer & Give | Read Stories It was this week two years ago that devastating tornadoes hit our conference. The guiding principle for our UMCOR-trained teams is: “Early in and last out” and our conference's long-term recovery caseworkers are still helping survivors of those 2020 tornadoes in Davidson, Wilson, Putnam Counties. In addition, we have teams on the ground assisting with work related to the Dec '21 Tornadoes in western Tennessee and Kentucky, the Aug '21 Flood in Humphreys Co., and the Mar '21 Floods in Davidson & Wilson Co. Thank you for your continued support!
