UCC issues appeal for those impacted by widespread destruction of Hurricane Helene

From our ISC Disaster Ministries Recovery Coordinator, Priscilla Self: "If your congregation/members want to help our "Southern neighbors", at this early-on disaster recovery point, please consider making financial donations rather than material goods. If their house was washed away or damaged beyond habitation, where will they put or how will they use donated “things”? Meals and immediate housing are a greater need now. Please read the following information as posted on our ucc.org/disaster site and make your choice about how you will help."
