Crisis Cleanup Always Needs Volunteers
As you may be aware, Tropical Storm Debby hit the Pennsylvania area in early August, leaving a trail of flooding and destruction. Currently there is a storm, Helene, that is headed for Florida. During these difficult times it is crucial that we all pull together to help one another. In John 15:12 we are told by Jesus, "this is my commandment that you love one another, as I have loved you."
One way you can show that love during any disaster is by volunteering to be a Crisis Cleanup phone volunteer.
Crisis Cleanup opens a hotline that allows survivors of disasters to call and register the damage they sustained and request assistance with addressing it. Phone volunteers are the first line of responders who lend an ear and record their needs. This vital work helps organize information that is provided to relief organizations and disaster teams, allowing them to reach the survivors and meet their needs much quicker.
Phone volunteering is a great, safe way to do meaningful service and training will be provided. If you have a phone and a computer with internet access, you can participate in the important mission opportunity from the comfort of your home.
Contact the Disaster Response Coordinator, if you are interested in serving; call (717) 766-7441, extension 3402, or email - drc@susumc.org and included "Crisis Cleanup" in the subject line.
