DISASTER RESPONSE

NEC faithfully tithes 10% of our annual budget

The catastrophic earthquake in Myanmar means the road to recovery will be long and difficult. As part of NEC’s commitment to give 10% of our annual budget to support local and global needs, our leadership team has voted to send $1,000 each to Doctors Without Borders and World Central Kitchen. Both organizations are on the ground in Myanmar—Doctors Without Borders providing urgent medical care, and World Central Kitchen delivering hot meals to survivors and first responders. Each has earned a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, reflecting their integrity and impact.

We wanted to share this with you, not as a call to give, but as a glimpse into the kind of quiet generosity that happens behind the scenes—made possible by your faithful support of this church. Thank you for helping us be the hands and feet of Jesus in places we may never go, but still deeply care about.
