URGENT First Priority Tornado

Relief Efforts

 

First Priority now has a specific project in which you as a First Priority supporter can touch the lives of local teens impacted by last week's weather disaster. I hope you will take the time right now to read the details below and deeply consider your involvement. With your support, First Priority will be there now just as it has been for the past 20 years to provide encouragement to every student in every community who needs help. This stands to be an unprecedented opportunity to touch young lives with the love of Jesus Christ and we are determined to see it happen.

 

After the Katrina disaster, First Priority organized Bags of Hope for teens whose families lost everything. The idea was to come in after the immediate physical needs of roof, food, water and clothes had been met and provide for teens' emotional and spiritual well-being. The bags were purchased by a concerned person who would then fill the bags with items from a suggested list and return them so that they could be distributed by a local First Priority representative into schools and communities. In just two weeks First Priority Birmingham provided for more than 500 of these students. Thousands were provided from across the nation to our First Priority organization on the Gulf Coast. We believe the same can be done now here in Alabama.

 

We know that the current need in our area is for basic physical aid. This response has been overwhelming. The next opportunity to meet needs is what we are now looking ahead to. In a similar fashion in the next week or two there will be toy drives in order to provide some sort of normality for a young child. This Bags of Hope emphasis for teenagers will be similar to that, but we will be able to give emotional and spiritual healing in these teens' lives. We have several books and music that we will be suggesting that deal with suffering from a Christian perspective. Oftentimes, the needs of middle and high schoolers are overlooked. Teens will be looking for answers and we want to ensure they get the right ones! This may be the only opportunity to touch their lives with Christian love.

 

Please help us help students and become personally involved by supporting this unprecedented need in our area. Click HERE to learn how you can help. This link will take you to the specific ways you can get involved with the Bags of Hope emphasis. Thank you for your support!
