The AWF Disaster Response team, under the leadership of Rev. Chris Ackerman, will continue to communicate the greatest needs for both Hurricanes Laura and Zeta. Clergy should contact their district disaster response coordinator if your church or clergy home has damage that is not on this list.
"It is unbelievable to think that we are faced with yet more storm damage," stated Bishop Graves. "However, we certainly have experience and an outstanding team that will respond to Hurricane Zeta in impactful ways just as we have to prior natural disasters. Whether you are in conference or in another part of the country, we need your help. Please prayerfully consider sending a work team or monetary donation. We need our connection more than ever and will collectively work to show communities that the United Methodist Church is an integral part of their livelihood."
Work teams are still greatly needed along the coast. Please register your team through this form. As always, monetary donations are needed and greatly appreciated as we recover and rebuild. Click here to donate.
