Currently, there are no active Early Response Team or long-term recovery volunteer opportunities in the NC Conference. All of our Disaster Ministries recovery centers are now closed. We continue to monitor weather events and will post updates if needs arise. 

We encourage Early Response Teams and rebuilding teams to consider UMCOR supported out-of-conference requests for assistance. Please contact the NC Conference Disaster Response Coordinator, Ann Huffman, if you plan to volunteer.
