In late October, category 5 storm Hurricane Melissa hit the Caribbean as one of the most powerful Atlantic storms to make landfall in the region in recorded history.

In response to the severe destruction, UMCOR has awarded four solidarity grants. We maintain communication with partners in the region as relief efforts continue.
