This October we’ll be ready for a mission trip to UMCOR’s Sager Brown Disaster Response Depot in Baldwin, Louisiana. Volunteers will process relief kits to be shipped and staged for disaster response through the US and beyond. The setting of the Depot is relaxing and beautiful, along the banks of Bayou Teche. The basic registration fee per person is $275. Deadline to register is May 15, 2021.
And speaking of UMCOR Relief Kits, we need to replenish the dozens of 5-gallon bucket cleaning kits we provided our neighbors to help with clean-up following the winter storm.
If you or your group would like to make a cleaning kit, hygiene kit, or school kit— you can find the instructions here: https://umcmission.org/
