How Can We Help?

Posted on August 29, 2017 Posted By: Bill Shank Categories: News

As the devastating impact from Hurricane Harvey continues, many of you may be looking for a way to help. In the past the Five Forks Church has partnered with Mennonite Disaster Service and we will be looking to do the same at this time.

The Finance Committee is currently exploring options in the way of assistance on a church level, and wanted to provide you with the following information from MDS if you would wish to contribute on an individual level. Please be on the lookout for more information in the coming days.

An announcement from MDS:

Dear Friends,

Please pray for those impacted by Hurricane Harvey and the severe flooding on the Texas Gulf Coast. MDS is closely monitoring the situation and is preparing for a response. We will be sending an assessment team to the area this week to determine short and long term responses.

MDS is accepting financial donations for its Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts, which can be given online or by check and made payable to: Mennonite Disaster Service, 583 Airport Rd, Lititz, PA 17543. Designate “Hurricane Harvey” on the memo line.

If you’re interested in volunteering for service in Texas, please fill out the online volunteer registration form.
