PDA suggests ways to support storm victims

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) suggests ways to "stand in the GAP" for the millions affected by Hurricane and Superstorm Sandy.
 
Give. Provide financial support to aid in recovery efforts. You can give $10 now by texting PDA to 20222 or donate any amount online.  Checks may be sent to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, P.O. Box 643700, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15624; note DR000187 on the check.

 

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.
