How Can I Help?
Pray for those devastated by the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Pray for our churches who have not only experienced loss, but who are also actively ministering to their communities during this catastrophe.
-
Pray for first responders and law enforcement as they serve and protect the communities hit by Helene.
-
Pray for recovery efforts and restoration crews as they face danger in restoring utilities.
Give to support the relief efforts.

Our National Disaster Relief team (DRUSA) has already been deployed to multiple locations, including Hendersonville, NC and has begun serving meals through a mobile feeding kitchen, and providing warm showers for workers and displaced people. Please consider giving to this national relief effort through this link; all proceeds will benefit the people and communities impacted by Helene.

Upward Christian Fellowship has designated a special fund to support those in their community who have lost homes and need assistance; click this link to support the people in Hendersonville through the Upward church.
Volunteer in the rebuilding effort.

The NCDOT has prohibited travel to Western NC (west of I-77) due to ongoing rescue and recovery efforts and number of road closures.
