The Erie United Methodist Alliance (EUMA) relies heavily on the generosity of the members of our community to help contribute the funds necessary to operate and to continue to provide assistance and services to those in need.
Monetary contributions are always at the top of our list of needs, however there are many ways for you to help us help others.
EUMA is a 501(c)3 non profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
You can make contributions in honor of or in memory of a friend or loved one.
Donations from GE employees and retirees qualify for the General Electric Matching Gifts Program.
BACK TO TOP
The EUMA is constantly in need of miscellaneous household items, furniture etc. These items are often distributed free of charge to those in need. Find out more about how you can donate your items.

In any home, things need to be repaired as time goes on. The same is true for the temporary homes of The EUMA residents. Unfortunately, we do not have a maintenance staff. Instead we rely on our resourceful employees and volunteers to do minor repair work when necessary.
If you consider yourself a handy around the house then we need your help. Please, donate your time and your talents.
Contact
our main office (814) 456-8073 to find out how.

One of our primary goals is to help secure permanent housing for those who come to us. If you have vacant rental properties in the area, please let us help you fill it.
