Our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Helene. During this time, you can help too! Please continue to pray for those affected and consider contributing by volunteering with the FL Conference Disaster Response Team or by giving to their disaster fund.
Volunteers Needed
As with any disaster, it often takes time to safely and effectively coordinate volunteer efforts. Our Florida Conference disaster team, along with other staff, have been traveling to the affected areas, meeting with pastors and community members, and conducting site assessments. Here’s how you can help right now:
Cedar Key: Cedar Key has suffered extensive damage. Volunteers can stay at Ellzey United Methodist Church, which offers housing with a shower, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a large room, and the sanctuary. Volunteers will need to bring their own food, bedding, tools, and other essentials. Their efforts will focus on cleaning out homes in the area.
For more information or to sign up, please email Victoria Vaden at victoriav@fumcwp.org.
