"Helping Hands to meet the needs of those less fortunate with compassion and
dignity."
The Erie United Methodist
Alliance (EUMA) is a group of United Methodist Churches, laypersons,
and pastors from the Erie-Meadville District organized in
the name of Jesus Christ to meet the critical needs of people suffering
from poverty and homelessness in our community.
The Erie United Methodist
Alliance is a 501-(c)3 non profit organization funded in part by HUD, but primarily though the
generosity of the members of our community. We provide a number of
services, programs and temporary housing situations to those suffering
from homelessness. We also have trained staff on hand 24 hour a day to
make referrals and to locate other resources outside the scope of what
our organization provides.
EUMA provides transitional living for families
suffering from homelessness at Hope
House, an emergency shelter for families at The Refuge and transitional living
for honorably discharged veterans suffering from homelessness at Liberty House. The Project
Hope Outreach center assists those suffering from homelessness in finding available services,
and The Rainbow Connection thrift store to help those in need acquire clothing, household items, etc. at little or no cost.
