To All of Our Disaster Fund Contributors,
I am writing as I had promised to keep everyone updated about how your blessed
contributions were being used to help with disaster needs in our community.
Thus far, you have helped with rebuilding three homes directly and many others indirectly. You have helped provide space, accommodations, and services for mission teams staying with us as they rebuild with others. There have been household items purchased for some that lost them; cars repaired that were damaged; help with house payments to keep them current so they could qualify for a rebuild (while they pay rent also for a place to stay until rebuild is complete); help with electricity, gas, water, etc. as numerous folks lost their employment at the destroyed factories; and debris removal to list just a portion.
We are so pleased to now have an active Unicoi County Long-Term Recovery Group to coordinate and serve those that have filed claims! And believe it or not, they are still discovering more needs each week with folks that tried to make it on their own.
Centenary UMC is here for ALL and we will continue to minister to and assist as we can until everyone has been restored to pre-hurricane condition or better. Your continued donations are sought prayerfully!
We are so thankful for your generosity! May your giving be blessed and your lives for doing so!
In Christ’s Love,
Pastor Linda
