Help victims of the Fuego Volcano eruption
Hundreds have perished, many are still missing, and thousands have lost everything. Entire towns have been buried in volcanic flow. If you're interested in helping the relief efforts in Guatemala, we have already started sending goods to those affected (see pictures at the bottom of this page).
In the long term, we will be involved in helping with the needs of the victims as they relocate to a new home in a safe location. At Union Church, we have partnered with Habitat for Humanity Guatemala for decades and will be seeking their help and that of other trusted NGO's to deliver your support to those in need.
The Union Church has 20 year relationship with a US-based non-profit
Donations go through a 501c(3) non-profit called "International Church Ministries Inc. (ICM)" ** which has provided funding services for our church in the Unites States. ICM has been handling tax deductible donations for missionaries in Guatemala for more than 20 years.
No fee will be charged for donations
We are pleased to report the the board of ICM has decided that there will be no charge for sending money to Guatemala. They will also issue US tax deductible receipts for tax purposes. Donations of more than $5,000 USD will be reported by law to the IRS. A proper paper trail for accountability of donors and the IRS will be made available.
