Hurricane Helene Response

We are going to leverage HopeLKN as our giving partner for Hurricane Helene Response. We are currently working with 2 organizations to help fund relief efforts. 100% of what you give will be donated directly to WNC relief efforts.

We want to keep you updated with our plans for assisting with the Hurricane Relief happening in Western North Carolina. As always, please continue to join us in prayer for the thousands affected by the storm and for the ongoing efforts to bring restoration and hope into those areas.

Our goal continues to be to share both local (organizing/donating/packing) and deployment (go/serve) opportunities. Of course, if you have already made connections and have opportunities to serve, please continue to do so. Our efforts, in conjunction with some other organizations and churches, are below:
