Hurricane Helene Updates
Below is where you will find updates to what we are doing in our community (both local and in the mountains) in response to aftermath of Helene.
Cleaning Buckets
In an effort to restock supplies that were used at the initial clean up of Hurricane Helene, we are collecting items for Cleaning (Flood) Buckets.
We will be sharing this collection with Aldersgate UMC and in a few weeks, we will join together to assemble the buckets and send them on their way.
We are aiming to do 50 buckets.
Items we still need to collect:
10--4-8 oz Pump Spray Air Freshener
1--5 Gallon Round Bucket with Lid.
Here is the link to our Amazon list (all orders from this list will be delivered to Central UMC): https://a.co/gkqK5oc
(you may find items at your local hardware or Dollar Tree store but please don’t vary from the above sizes)
