The First United Methodist Church of Cortez garage recently turned into a warehouse for the Navajo COVID Relief Project sponsored by the Mountain Sky Conference UMC, Native Grace Fellowship, Christ UMC in Salt Lake City and FUMC of Cortez.
The project plans to donate food, cleaning supplies, water and other necessities to elders and families on the Navajo Nation who have been unable to get supplies during the COVID-19 crisis. The project targets southeast Utah, where most Native Grace Fellowship members live.
Eighty-six boxes of cleaning supplies went with 86 food boxes to elders in the southeast Utah part of the Navajo Nation. Supplies will be distributed weekly as long as the project has financial support and donations coming in.
