Due to the effects of Hurricane Helene and the great loss it has brought to many in our state and others, we want to help make a difference. This is a great opportunity for local churches and individuals to respond in action and love.
Let us join together as the Body of Christ and be the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus as we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who are experiencing trauma and great need.
You are invited to collect items that are most needed by those whose lives have been upended by the storm.
