The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) collaborates with affiliate warehouses across the U.S., which allows us to swiftly bring relief supply kits to those impacted by disaster. The UMCOR Sager Brown Depot is closing on December 31, 2026. All supplies shipped to Sager Brown must be received by October 31, 2026. Read more about this transition in the FAQs below.
Learn more about how UMCOR is reimagining its approach to disaster material resources management and key process changes during this transition period.
UMCOR is reimagining its approach to disaster material resources management (view here) to ensure quick and efficient distribution of relief supply kits to communities in the United States affected by disasters. We give thanks to God for 30 years of ministry at Sager Brown and are so grateful for the many who have served there.
Completed relief supply kits should now be shipped only to affiliate warehouses in the United States that make up the Relief Supply Network, not to Sager Brown. This includes the funds that offset the cost of supplies and shipping, as detailed in the instructions for each kit. See below for a list of affiliate warehouses. We recommend you ship to the warehouse closest to you. You may also arrange for special freight shipping or personally deliver kits.
The process of requesting kits will not change. Conference Disaster Response Coordinators and non-profit organizations may request the relief supplies needed directly here or contact an affiliate warehouse. Once the relief supplies are requested and approved, the affiliate warehouse, or in some cases UMCOR, will ensure transport and delivery of the supplies.
UMCOR currently accepts 3 relief supply kits: hygiene kit, menstrual hygiene kit and the cleaning kit. There are currently no plans to add or delete kits from this list. The most requested kit is the cleaning kit.
Donations to Advance #901440, UMCOR Material Resources, will still be used to help purchase, store, transport and deliver critical supplies to disaster survivors. Your donation also strengthens the systems and partnerships that make rapid disaster response possible, including support for regional warehouses, ensuring that assistance reaches those in need with compassion, dignity, and hope. You can give online here.
Sager Brown Depot collaborates with affiliate warehouses across the U.S. to quickly get relief supplies to those in need. Discover where the closest affiliate warehouse is to you.
