UMCOR Buckets Due Friday

The long awaited truck is due to land at a local shipping company Friday that is going to help us get it unloaded. Youth and adult volunteers will meet to help unload/load the 1,800 Flood Buckets to get them ready for pickup and delivery. James Marks from the Columbia District has been volunteering at the Conference all week in aiding with the distribution of the 600 buckets, 3,000 Health Kits and more. He is coordinating the process on Friday, along with support staff from the office. Another truck was due to be picked up from UMCOR Sager Brown today and will be delivered to Feed America First.

Churches anywhere in the Conference that would like buckets for their communities, please contact the Hotline at 615-695-2765 or disasterresponse@tnumc.com to arrange for pickup or delivery. When a multi-agency warehouse opens for all of our state to use, we will have access to a variety of donated supplies and the ability to donate requested items there.
