Hurricane Laura Response

SUPPLIES

As we continue to coordinate and collaborate to help provide relief for those in need in SW Louisiana, they have expressed an updated need for supplies.

If you would like to help their area with the purchase of items needed, you can do so from the comfort of your home through Amazon. See the link below for an updated Wish List.

Please select Regional Distribution Center - Sulfur, LA (updated) as the shipping address for your purchases.

Thank you!

 If you or your congregation desire to send supplies, we have transitioned to an Amazon Wish List collection and delivery process in order to streamline collection and delivery.  See below for the Amazon Supply Wish List. Please share it with your congregation and communities. (Flood buckets are not needed at this time).

List is for Hurricane Laura Household Supplies 

The city of Orange, Texas is in need of tarping and household supplies. If you are looking for a distribution center on the front line to ship your donated supplies to please consider Faith UMC in Orange, Contact sonya.meyers@hopedrtx.org to arrange shipping.
