2 Collection Sites on the District
to receive UMCOR Cleaning Kits!
VAUMC Disaster Coordinator, Rev. Bob Pihlchrantz, received a call from UMCOR requesting cleaning buckets. UMCOR Supply Depots are near to disbursing all the stored cleaning kits to areas impacted by the recent hurricanes. In another disaster, UMCOR will lose its ability to respond and share a needed resource with the affected people. In 2017, VAUMC responded to a similar call and collected 4,676 cleaning kits, estimated at $350,700, to respond to this call. The VAUMC AC Kit team proposes to hold another event in November 2022.
Goal - To collect 4,677 Cleaning kits by November. This is one more kit from our previous collection in 2017. Possible if every church contributed four kits per church or 585 kits per district.
