Volunteer to Help
The purpose of this event is to rally any and all evacuees still in our area, assess their current needs and direct them to the those who can best meet that need. There is great need to participation from church groups to volunteer and help in some of the following ways.
There will also be a rest and ministry area that any church may have a representative to simply sit and visit offering words of encouragement.
Several of these are fairly large tasks and may require more than one church. Please choose an area and provide your contact information. Please pray about how you might be involved.
Evacuees of North Alabama!
Please accept our invitation to this special time that will help us and our community to understand your changing needs and how we may ensure the many resources throughout our community are freely available to you!
Gifts, Help, and Services Freely Provided at the Resource Fair:
- Special Time and Attention for the Children!

PHYSICAL HELP
There will be representatives from community agencies and churches throughout the Valley to make freely available to you resources you may currently need, as well as get feedback from you as to your changing needs so preparation for those may also occur.
