For early response teams wishing to assist in West Virgina, the West Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church is asking early response team leaders to fill out their volunteer team form which may be found at: http://wvumc.org/About/Ministries/Disaster-Response
The Western North Carolina Conference Mission Response Center, (MRC) in Terrell, NC is a part of the UMCOR Depot system. Over the last few weeks, MRC Terrell has sent over 500 cleaning buckets to West Virginia to assist in their flood disaster and over 1300 cleaning buckets have been sent to South Louisiana.
At this time the Mission Response Center is not requesting any more cleaning buckets because of their current and anticipated inventory however the MRC does welcome work teams. To volunteer please contact: Dwaine Morgan, 828.478.2106, to schedule a time.
Grace and Peace,
