Volunteers, relief supplies needed in South Indiana
Supplies needed to aid in the relief efforts are flood
buckets/cleaning supplies, tarps, toilet paper and diapers according to
Randy Anderson, Acting Evansville Disaster Response Coordinator.
Please, NO CLOTHING. Anderson also said that donated gift cards from
Wal-Mart would be very helpful in getting supplies in quickly.
Kevin McKinney, Evansville District Superintendent, said that donated
gift cards may be sent to the Evansville District Office, 5200
Washington Avenue, Evansville, Indiana 47715.
Carolyn Ellis, SIC Volunteers in Mission Coordinator, stated that 15
teams, from 4 to 9 members each, helped with the relief efforts
yesterday, Nov. 8. Today there are approximately 40 to 45 people
volunteering. Teams are cooking, sorting, delivering supplies, helping
with debris clean-up and tarping roofs. North Indiana Conference
donated 50 tarps to help with this effort.
Volunteers are asked to report to Epworth Church, 4455 Epworth Road,
Newburgh. There they will complete the forms necessary to
volunteer and will receive their work assignment. Please contact
Pastor Mike Monahan (812) 853-8107 if interested in helping with the
relief efforts. The check-point area is still in place by the
National Guard. Carolyn also said that the Presbyterian Churches
in that area have called and have joined the relief efforts.
