A very special

Hurricane Relief: Community Action Response
Please join us as we organize our Hurricane Relief efforts. We invite our greater local community to join us in our efforts to create disaster relief Cleaning Kits (“Flood Buckets”) for those in need. The Chatham UMC will be collecting these “Flood Bucket” Cleaning Kits throughout the next few weeks and will be send them to UMCOR Disaster Coordinators in the affected areas. To make this simple, we have included a “Flood Bucket” Shopping list and brief instructions on how to prepare Cleaning Kits.
Buckets are now available at the top of the stairwell by the information ledge.
Let us not only pray for those devastated by this historic storm, but let us join together in solidarity to offer our support.
