UMCOR Japan Update


Please do not send materials of any kind. Sending blankets, flood, clothing, etc. is clogging the Japanese distribution system. Please send money to UMCOR or to the International Red Cross.

UMCOR is working in Japan in three ways:

1. UMCOR has partnered with the United Church of Christ in Japan (UCCJ).

2. UMCOR has partnered with GlobalMedic. Global Medic provides 3 services: a Rescue Team with specialized dog units, an inflatable field hospital, and water purification units.

3. UMCOR has partnered with Peace Winds Japan to distribute blankets, food and water.


The people of Japan need our help.
