Many thanks to all who have generously given both financially and with their time to support the recovery efforts after Hurricane Helene over the last month. To date, the church has received funds to support those affected by the storm. The mission committee is prayerfully discerning how to best disburse these funds to provide care to those in need in our community.

Volunteers will assist homeowners and will help in Jesus’ name with tree work, debris clean up, roof tarping and mudouts. There will be opportunities for overnight and day volunteers. No skills are necessary prior to serving. Volunteers will be led and instructed by experienced team leads. To find out more about assistance and to volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse, click HERE.

 

Baptists on Mission is responding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in the mountains of western North Carolina. We’ve set up large feeding and recovery (mud out, tear out, chainsaw, etc.) operations in 14 locations in Western North Carolina. Volunteers are helping with feeding; shower and laundry; chain saw teams; tarping roofs; mudding and tearing out homes; and more. You don’t need to be trained to serve with some of these opportunities. So far, more than 400,000 hot meals have been provided, over 5,000 volunteers have served and more than 2,500 recovery jobs on homes have been completed.

Thank you to our church and community volunteers for all of your support in helping Water Mission build and distribute hundreds of generators to families without power in the first two weeks following Hurricane Helene. You have lived out our church’s mission to: Grow in the love of Christ, Share that Good News, and Serve the world. 💙
