West Virginia and Kentucky Flooding

We are staying in contact with congregations in the flooded areas along the river in West Virginia and Kentucky. We've also contacted The Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Inc. out of Nashville, TN.

Mingo County in West Virginia has over 4,000 houses that have been damaged by flood waters. We have coordinators that will be heading that way to qualify areas and assess needs to see where DRT is most needed.

Pike County in Kentucky is also an area that will be assessed. Around 1700 were affected by flood waters and/or mudslides in this area.

Funds are URGENTLY needed for this disaster as well as future disasters. If you would like to help those affected by disaster, you may donate online by PayPal through our website: http://www.churchesofchristdrt.org or by Postal Mail To:
