WE NEED
YOUR HELP
From flood buckets to hygiene kits to essentials like clothes and bedding, our conference has stepped up to support our communities when they’ve needed it most. This year, we have a goal of completing 100 flood buckets and 40 hygiene kits to be prepared for the next time flooding occurs. We need YOUR HELP to continue providing this ministry love to our neighbors in need.
