RELIEF

Giving Hope and Support to our community

A hurricane’s devastation can be overwhelming to vulnerable families. Many feel hopeless and alone. Our mission is to help families in crisis, and so we will be by their side in this moment, supporting and connecting them to urgently needed resources.

Our volunteers sprung into action within hours of Hurricane Ian, Helene and Milton, knocking on doors, meeting immediate needs, and working with agencies, local partners, and churches to help families.

We will continue to help families, until we are no longer needed.

Get the word out!

Engage your congregation with a social media post about our hurricane relief efforts and how to get involved. This social media toolkit makes it easy to share.
