HOW ARE WE RESPONDING?
We are responding immediately to Hurricane Helene Relief in three ways below.
• Supply collection: The areas have been overwhelmed with supplies at this time. We’ll continue to update you with new and urgent needs as we hear about them.
•Give financially: Our support for the ongoing relief efforts is not a one-time thing. We’ll continue to partner financially with local churches and Samaritan’s Purse, ensuring that all donations go directly to Hurricane Relief. We’ll keep you updated on what has been given and where it has been donated so you can see the impact of your continued support.
•Serving Opportunities: We are partnering with Samaritan's Purse to provide ongoing one-day and overnight serving opportunities.
