Help for Victims of Hurricane Harvey

Details

We’ve watched in disbelief the flooding that has taken place in Texas all this week– and continues. It will be months and, in some cases, years before all will be back to “normal,” if it ever will be. It was dangerous to drive under an overpass if there was any torrential rainfall, let alone 52 inches at one time! It is heartbreaking to consider the devastation and the millions who have been displaced as well as the lives lost.

It would be difficult for us up here in Pennsylvania to go down to Houston to help, but we can support trustworthy ministries who can and, in some cases, are even there now.

Action Steps

Donate/volunteer:

1.) Franklin Graham’s Samaritans Purse already has boots on the ground.

2.) Volunteer to be part of a Rapid Response Team or to help rebuild Texas in the near future here If you are unable to physically go, you can also donate to help Eight Days of Hope in their efforts.

3.) Dr. Peg Luksik, President of Founded on Truth Ministry, has announced an effort to help the children impacted by Hurricane Harvey:

Founded on Truth is establishing a separate fund, from which EVERY PENNY will be spent to provide those children with the things that children need.

We are working with folks on the ground in Texas to ensure a quick and efficient distribution of all items.

You can participate in the following ways:

Send cash donations to Founded on Truth Harvey Children’s Fund
Send your physical gift from this list:
- NEW stuffed animals (if they are used, we will have to discard them) – leave the tag on so we will know that it is new

- Dolls and/or action figures (same rules as stuffed animals)
