Hurricane Ida Relief

Labeled as one of the worst storms on record to hit the United States, Hurricane Ida left a mess in Louisiana and Mississippi. In addition to the flooding and wind damages, more than one million homes and businesses are without power for the foreseeable future.

Our SBCV Disaster Relief teams are working with national relief directors to find out how we can best help. While assessments continue, we know hundreds of thousands of people need immediate shelter, travel into disaster areas will be difficult, and feeding kitchens and supplies are ready to be positioned.

At this time, we have a team preparing to leave soon to serve in Louisiana.

Closer to home, we just learned about flooding and mudslides in Hurley, Virginia that left people missing and homes destroyed. And now, more rain is expected. We are assessing how we can help now.

There is also another area of immediate need here in Virginia…AFGHAN REFUGEES.

We have heard that thousands of Afghan refugees are coming to Virginia in the coming days and weeks. We are currently exploring ministry opportunities and assessing needs at Ft. Lee and Quantico. We hope to provide concrete next steps in the next few days.
