Off it goes!

Thank you all again for putting together flood buckets and health kits for the United Methodist Committee on Relief's Hurricane Relief. The truck picked them all up this morning and after stops to pick up more in San Antonio and Austin, they will be off to Baldwin, Louisiana and the Sager-Brown Depot. (By the way, between Grace, Mathis UMC and Beeville, we sent 288 health kits and 43 flood buckets!) From there the will be sent out to Hurricane relief efforts in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. They will also help replenish the stock to UMCOR has supplies on hand if they should be needed in the future.

It is also important to remember that UMCOR works all around the world. The health kits and other supplies go to places like Afghanistan and the Congo. They are used to bring relief to displaced people and also to teach people about hygiene and basic health care.

peace,

will
