Floodwaters in the wake of Hurricane Florence have soaked areas of eastern South Carolina. Here are a few ways United Methodists across the state can help:
Pray
- For the safety and recovery of those affected by the storm.
- For the safety of first responders and others working with survivors.
- For the safety of volunteers helping with clean-up efforts.
Volunteer for short-term response/relief
- We need volunteers of all ability levels in the coming weeks and months.
- If early indications hold true, recovery could take years, so the need for volunteers will not go away any time soon.

Volunteer for long-term recovery
- There is still plenty of work to be done with South Carolina families whose homes were devastated by 2015’s historic floods and Hurricane Matthew in 2016.
- Disaster Recovery Ministries of the South Carolina Conference has opportunities now for teams of volunteers and individuals to work on these long-term recovery efforts.
- To volunteer or for more information, contact Ward Smith at 803-726-3105 or screcovery@umcsc.org.
