In response to the devastation left behind by Hurricanes Helene & Milton, our church is teaming up with four other local United Methodist churches to pack flood buckets for UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee on Relief). Our goal is to pack 100 buckets! Each church will be responsible for a few of the items needed to fill these buckets. Our assigned donation items include:
- 100 bottles of pump spray insect repellent, 6oz-14oz
Pump spray bottles must have protective covers/caps.
Packs of 10-20 insect repellent wipes are also acceptable.
- 900 reusable cleaning wipes
No terrycloth, microfiber, or paper towels.
- 100 24-count rolls of heavy duty trash bags, 33-45 gallon size
Heavy duty bags only.
- Financial donations to purchase items.
Please note: the sizes, materials, and other details of these donation items are intentionally specific. UMCOR will not accept items that do not meet these specifications.
Please bring your donation items to the church by Sunday November 3 and place in the collection bin. Then join us in the church Atrium on the afternoon of Sunday November 10 as these five churches — Wesley UMC, Epworth UMC, Fritz Memorial UMC, St. Paul’s UMC, and Green Pond UMC — come together for a flood bucket packing party! (Time and details to follow.) For more information, please contact Pastor Candy.
