1. Unemployed families who need utility bill assistance and groceries.
2. Give grants to local churches and Hope Centers whose missions are providing food pantries and other frontline help.
3. Fund the innovative new ministries emerging to fight the long term effects of the virus.

The United Methodists of Greater NJ have embarked on a three-year pledge drive to raise $6.2 million to invest in transformational good works in the region, across the nation, and around the world.

GNJ invites individuals, foundations and local churches to participate in this campaign to grow disciples and leaders in GNJ, assist the marginalized in GNJ communities, rebuild from natural disasters in Puerto Rico, and support new clergy in Tanzania.
