On September 13, fourteen members of Grand Rapids: Trinity UMC participated in the West Michigan Environmental Action Council (WMEAC) Mayors’ Grand River Cleanup. A combined God’s Naturehood and United Women in Faith group removed several bags of trash and recyclables from nearby Wilcox Park.

Midwest Mission is sending disaster relief supplie

Midwest Mission is sending disaster relief supplies to Florida and surrounding states after the devastating hurricane. You can help!

Midwest Mission received a request from the Florida Catholic Conference through our partner Food For The Poor. The request is for Cleaning Kits, Hygiene Kits, tarps, and trash bags. We have also reached out to the UM North Carolina Conference and other responding nonprofits

You can help bring hope within the crisis by meeting critical needs:

Donate heavy duty trash bags or contractor bags

Donate shampoo (12-19 oz bottles)

Donate funds to help us purchase bulk supplies here. Or, send a check with "Helene" in the memo.

You can send trash bags and shampoo to Midwest Mission (1001 Mission Drive, Pawnee, IL 62558)

After sending this round of aid, our supply of disaster relief will be heavily depleted. We expect this to be the first of many shipments requested, as flooding continues to recede across the Southeast, and people return to their homes and figure out their next steps.

Most importantly, please be praying for the millions of people affected by this storm. Whether they have lost their home, loved ones, or even just power, this is a massive crisis that will take a physical and emotional toll for weeks and months to come.

We are blessed to be in the position to send tangible resources to make an intangible difference, bringing hope during a disaster.

Things you can do to support those affected by Hur

Things you can do to support those affected by Hurricane Helene: PRAY, GIVE, PAUSE.
Please PRAY for those affected by the recent hurricane and the first responders providing care, safety, and immediate needs.

You may GIVE to UMCOR - United Methodist Committee On Relief: Go to the link in our bio to give.

PAUSE: do not self-deploy to these areas. Due to the nature and magnitude of this disaster, it will take months, maybe even years to recover. Just so you know, you will be needed. Just not yet. UMCOR will provide more updates as they become available.
