Helene disaster relief response

JC3 Church Family, 

 

As many of you know, there are many counties in our area that have been devastated by the impact of hurricane Helene.  Our church staff has been formulating a plan for how we can be the most helpful during this time. 

 

The first phase of our plan is to send aid to those in need.  This week we will be taking up donations at our church for delivery.  During our third week, we will be collecting for the Burnsville, NC Community.  They are a small community that unfortunately was hit with the flooding from both Northeastern, TN & Western NC.  They have reached out to us with some specific needs that you will find below. 


In the coming weeks, we’ll be letting you know of more ways we can assist helping our local and regional communities.  


While we will continue to take donations, our second trailer challenge will run through:

THURSDAY, OCT. 17 – 9:45am

 

Please keep praying for those in our area who have lost loved ones and homes.
