Churches in those counties from the Western NC Conference of The UMC stepped up to begin helping members of their congregations and communities in the initial stages of relief.

We created a joint partnership that continues today with the deployment of Early Response Teams, loaning trailers and equipment, and the planned deployment of recovery teams in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volunteers are needed to help remove debris from both homes and property before the winter months set in.
