Current and Future Needs

We've been blessed with lots of volunteers, cleaning supplies, food, hygiene, items and cash in meeting some of the immediate relief and cleanup needs. As we begin to transition to long term rebuilding and unmet needs, we'll be asking for new ways you can serve Christ and Neighbor.

Volunteers inside and from outside communities to do rebuilding, offer free counseling services, serve on local community long term recovery committees, serving at donation/distribution centers, and more are always key to the recovery process. Cash is always great as it enables us and local communities to address directly and timely unmet needs, whether it is building materials, counseling, medical care, or other urgent needs. When we get farther into the process of connecting resources and volunteers to rebuilding projects, we may have some ways persons or organizations will be able to donate building materials or household good for when people move back into their homes. Until we have a place to send them and a definitive list of what we would like to get, we ask you wait until you hear from us those needs.

If your church is looking for a weekend or week long project later in the summer, fall, spring, summer, fall . . . contact us at DisasterResponse@tnumc.com and we'll start the process of connecting dates, work projects, housing, etc. Financial donations can be sent to the Conference Treasurer to the TN Conference Disaster Fund.
