Tornado Relief – How You Can Help

Published January 31, 2017
 
The presbytery office has received a number of inquiries about how best to offer assistance to those in southern Georgia affected by the recent tornado devastation. We have been in touch with Deb Bibler, the presbytery executive in Flint River Presbytery. She has shared the following information with us:
A Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Emergency Response Team arrived on Tuesday night and will remain through Sunday worship. They have been an enormous support and will help us think about long-term recovery.
 
A couple of practical things to do:
 
**Pray. There was significant loss of life and loss of property in the area. On a lesser note, our office was hit. We were very lucky, but we will limp along without power and cable for some time.
 
**Think about sending some “chain saw crews” on a weekend a month out. We have mountains of trees down and insurance does not cover their removal. The more tree removal we can do with volunteers, the more resources we will have to give to the affected neighborhoods. Think about doing this in March. We’re overwhelmed with immediate details right now.
 
**Send money to Flint River Presbytery marked “tornado relief”. The neighborhoods near our office are very, very poor and we want to do everything we can to help folks recover. This recovery will take years.
 
**Sending supplies is not helpful. We can get immediate needs to affected areas quickly and easily and that is building connection among our churches.
Please keep all of those affected by these storms in your prayers and consider ways in which you, and your congregation, can offer assistance.
