Less than a week after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the U.S., a Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief feeding team is on the ground to “give a cup of cold water in Jesus’ name” to those affected by the powerful storm.
As disaster relief efforts continue throughout the Southeast, more Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers are needed to help Helene survivors recovering from the destruction.
Amid the damage and destruction left from remnants of Hurricane Helene, Baptists continue to provide needed support for those struggling in the hardest-hit areas of the Southeast.
The Georgia Baptist Mission Board’s response to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene is comprehensive, according to chief operating officer David Melber. “We want to make sure we do not miss any church that needs our help,” he said.
Among the damage was Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina. The conference center was forced to temporarily close after some of its facilities were left damaged by flooding.
The Haven at Hebron, a 7,000-square-foot maternity home for homeless pregnant minors, is complete and will be able to receive residents as soon as licensing is finalized.
