URGENT NEED FOR CLEAN UP BUCKETS ~ PDA DR000151 Information on making and shipping the buckets can be found the PDA web site: http://www.pcusa.org/pda/help/goh.htm A storm system boasting heavy rains and some snow has swelled creeks and rivers across much of the central United States — especially affected are Missouri and Arkansas. Rivers in Missouri have been cresting well above flood level, and in many areas have exceeded the severe floods of 1993. Arkansas is expecting its worst flooding in 25 years. As floodwaters recede, families will face the daunting task of clean up and debris removal from the muddy waters.
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has provided $10,000 from One Great Hour of Sharing funds to the help families in their clean up efforts. Materials to fill clean-up buckets are being purchased, and the Ferncliff Presbyterian Camp and Conference Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, will coordinate volunteers to assemble the buckets. Clean-up buckets are one of the Gift of the Heart kits distributed through the Ferncliff Church World Service warehouse.
Please prayerfully consider involving your congregation in helping with this effort by: 1. Putting together clean-up buckets and shipping them to Ferncliff, or 2. Making a gift of $50.00 (the suggested donation to purchase a bucket and its contents) designated for DR000151. You may submit your check to the POJ as follows: Please make payable to the POJ, marked DR000151, and mail to Presbytery of the James, 3218 Chamberlayne Avenue, Richmond, VA 23227
