Hurricane Helene-How Can I Help?

If you and your family are looking for ways to help those affected by Hurricane Helene, here are a few options.

- Create a UMCOR Cleaning Kit.
Assemble your cleaning kit and bring it to the church office, for us to take to the appropriate ministries. 
Items to include in your cleaning kit:
  • One five-gallon round bucket with re-sealable lid
  • One bottle of 32-64 oz. of liquid laundry detergent
  • One 16-40 oz. bottle liquid concentrate household cleaner (No Spray Cleaners)
  • One 16-34 oz. bottle dish soap 
  • One 6-14 oz. pump spray insect repellent (Or pack of wipes)
  • One scrub brush 
  • 18 re-useable cleaning wipes
  • Five scouring pads 
  • 36-50 clothespins
  • One 50-100 ft. clothesline ( cotton or plastic line) 
  • 24 roll of heavy-duty trash bags (33-45 gallon sizes) 
  • Five N95 particulate respirator dust masks (1-3 mm thickness) 
  • Two pairs kitchen gloves
  • One Pair work gloves 
To assemble your kit all items must be new with the exception of the bucket and lid which may be recycled but must be clean and free of debris.
For more information on UMCOR Cleaning Kits and their assembly-watch the video below! 

- Volunteer at MERCI 
The MERCI Center in Goldsboro will be hosting an UMCOR Kit packing event on Tuesday, October 1 and Saturday, October 5, from 9am-1 pm, to assemble and inspect kits. If you would like to help build kits at MERCI, or find more volunteer opportunities they may have, please contact Rev. Bill Haddock at revbillh@nccumc.org 
- Monetary Donations
If you would like to make a monetary donation to be given towards Helene relief you may make your check out to our church. Please write "Hurricane Relief" in the memo line, and we will give 100% of your gift to hurricane relief efforts.
