As flood waters continue to impact East Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, and Georgia, our neighbors need our help as they assess damage, navigate power and water outages, and rebuild. If you’re looking for ways to support the flood relief efforts, here are a couple of ways to give your resources and time!
VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME
Church Street United Methodist Church, and all our neighbors, have been invited to help organize and inventory supplies, accept donations, and hand out water at Trinity United Methodist Church in Greeneville, TN. A sign-up sheet has been put together to help plan. On some days as many as 50 people are needed, and on some days there are carpool options available. Read the volunteer details on the sign-up form to confirm. Follow the link below to sign up.
