Helping Mission of Hope Flood Relief Center

We as the Watershed community have the opportunity to come alongside and help the Mission of Hope organization as they minister to the flood victims in the area. They have opened their doors as a relief center. We will be collecting food and supply donations at our Watershed gatherings for the next several weeks (see list below).

They can use our help in several different ways:

Prayer. Pray not only for the people affected by the flood, but also for the staff serving them...that they may remain able and faithful servants to our King

Food. They/we will be serving at least two meals per day (currently planning on lunch and dinner), and also are giving a bag of non-perishable food items away.

Supplies.

Biggest Needs:

• men's underwear
• men's clothing, esp larger sizes
• white socks
• jeans
• shorts
• toilet paper
• paper towels
• towels

Other Needs:

• clothing
• toiletries/hygeine products
• cleaning supplie

Time. They will need volunteers to work in the kitchen, food pantry, provide transport, sort and distribute clothing, provide prayer and counseling, answer phones, make calls/recruit, etc. A special need right now is nightly cleanup from 9pm - midnight.

To sign up to volunteer, call Cathy or Pastor Ron at New Beginnings Church Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm at (319)294-5393, or email at newbeginningschurch2002@hotmail.com
