10-5-24 HURRICANE RELIEF UPDATE:
This update includes an updated needs list for our hurricane relief partner, Swannanoa Church.
One of the guys in our church, John Roland (and possibly a few others), is going up THIS Monday to Wednesday (October 7-9) to help Swanannoa Church clean up homes in their community. John can take whatever items we collect. You’re welcome to leave donations on our front porch.
DAY TRIP OR MULTI-DAY SERVING
We will most definitely be planning more clean up trips and will let you know with plenty of time in advance. Swannanoa Church has a full house that can house up to 10 volunteers at a time. We also have friends, in nearby Hendersonville, where people can stay. And if you like camping, you can bring your tent and camping gear and go “camping with a purpose.” With school break coming up next weekend, families are welcome anytime to go up for the day (3 hour drive) to help with cleanup. Swannanoa Church said that we can just show up, and they’ll put us to work. For Swannanoa Church’s info and address, go to https://swan.church.
NEEDS LIST
- Adult diapers (i.e., Depends)
- Adult socks and underwear
- Tarps (for damaged roofs)
- 100 ft. extension cords
- Sump pumps
- Small generators (to keep medications cold and CPAP machines running)
- Small green camp stove propane cylinders
- Big fans
I’ve also attached a “needs list” from neighboring Marshall, NC (seriously devastated from the storm). Swannanoa could use everything on the Marshall list, as well.
Basically, right now Swannanoa DOES NOT need any bottled water, diapers, food, toilet paper, etc. They have a TON of all of these items. The stuff above and on the attached list is what they are seriously lacking in right now.
