Charlotte District UMC
Katrina Relief Task Force
Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, destroyed or damaged numerous houses. With the gift of labor from volunteers from around the country and donations from countless others we are able to help qualifying people move from temporary housing into Safe, Sanitary, and Secure homes. United Methodist volunteers are making a difference every day as they help heal hearts and homes in Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina destroyed more than 65,000 homes just in the six southernmost counties of Mississippi. Through the Mississippi United Methodist Katrina Response, teams of volunteers are helping families in need rebuild their homes and lives, one by one. Even as the 2005 storm fades farther into history, the need for volunteers continues. The Charlotte District UMC Katrina Recovery Task Force can help you plan a mission trip for one, a few, or a large group.
Matthew 25:40 "The King will answer and say to them, ?Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine. Even the least of them, you did it to Me.' "
The Charlotte District UMC has formed a task force to support efforts in mission to serve this need. Your UMC can join in connection and mission work to help these families with nowhere else to turn. Contact the task force or your church mission representative to find out how you can help.
