GILFORD — Kentucky flood victims are benefitting from United Methodist Committee on Relief disaster materials that are provided by Methodist Churches nationwide. Overwhelming floods began in Kentucky on July 24, and lasted over a week. UMCOR sent more than 3,000 flood buckets which included supplies needed by communities coping after a disastrous flood.
Many churches throughout New England, including First United Methodist Church Gilford, assembled the materials and donated hundreds of buckets to UMCOR. The completed clean-up buckets help those affected by floods, hurricanes and other catastrophes to begin the overwhelming job of clean-up. Donations to UMCOR go 100% to the needs they serve around the world.
If you would like more information about UMCOR, visit their website at umcmission.org/umcor. You are also invited to contact the First United Methodist Church at 603-524-3289 for more information or to help with future collections.
