Presbyterian Disaster Assistance: Response to Hurricane Sandy

How you can help in the face of this disaster!




Sunday, November 11th was All Saints Day and we remembered those affected by Hurricane Sandy  -  “The church is catholic, universal, so are all her actions; all that she does belongs to all.” 
 
Please pray for the millions of people who have been affected by this storm. Stand in the GAP for them. (Give, Act, Pray)
 
There are ways you can help:
  • Give.
    Provide financial support to aid in recovery efforts. You can give $10 now by texting PDA to 20222 or mail your gift referencing DR000187 to P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA.
    (NOTE: You may also donate through Lake Murray Presbyterian Church
    here. Please designate "PDA" in additional details.)
  • Act.
    Make "Gift of the Heart" kits - clean up buckets, baby kits, hygiene kits and school kits. More than 18,000 kits have already been sent.
    Organize volunteer teams. There will be tremendous need for volunteer teams to help in the clean-up and recovery efforts — that will span multiple states — including many communities still recovering from Hurricanes Irene and Lee.
  • Pray.
    Pray for families who lost homes and loved ones. Pray as they face power loss and other challenges brought on by further inclement weather. Pray for those seek to provide physical, emotional and spiritual comfort. Pray the hope of Christ will be evident in our response.
