Volunteers needed in South Indiana

Volunteers in mission who wish to work on tornado relief need to report to Evansville's Epworth United Methodist Church, 4455 Epworth Rd, in Newburgh. Newburgh UMC is still without electricity, and the church is located behind the check-point area.

The National Guard is not allowing anyone to enter past the check-point area without a pass. Newburgh UMC has been feeding survivors using outdoor grills, and by using generators.

Pastor Randy Anderson , Evansville District Acting Disaster Response Coordinator, said that Epworth UMC will accommodate volunteers who want to serve more than one day. The church has showers and a kitchen. Volunteers will need to bring a sleeping bag. Please call Pastor Mike Monahan (812) 853-8107 at the church or Randy Anderson (812) 568-4746 before volunteering and/or staying at Epworth UMC. There have been delays getting our volunteers to the affected areas. Randy thanks everyone for their patience and their willingness to serve.
