Harris Hill's GO! Ministry is a HUB of the Mission Barn in Eastbrook, PA. The focus of the ministry is to collect, assemble and distribute UMCOR relief kits. The majority of the relief kits are ultimately delivered to UMCOR's supply headquarters at Sager Brown in Baldwin, Louisiana who distributes the kits domestically and world wide. A smaller emergency supply is also kept on site in the event of a local disaster.

The ministry was officially adopted at Harris Hill in 2013 after 2 years of praying and attending annual work weekends at Mission Central. Harris Hill is the only drop off site in Western NY/Niagara Frontier District and is ready to assist in a matter of hours.
