Helene Disaster Response
​
Western North Carolina was hit with an unprecedented amount of rain and wind from Hurricane Helene, and the devastation is overwhelming. So many people have lost everything. Others don’t have the ability to leave their homes due to the roads being completely washed away. There is great need for basic life necessities. Here is how you can help:
​
Donate Items
Drop off the needed items (below) at the granite countertop in the Atrium at Moments of Hope Church on October 6th, 13th and 20th before or after the Sunday service.
-
Baby formula (any kind: ready to feed and canisters of dry formula accepted)
-
NEW baby bottles (they will not accept used)
Serve Day
