Flood Bucket Challenge

September is National Disaster Preparedness Month. With natural disasters on the rise and hurricane season off to a strong start, the Missouri Conference has set a goal of collecting 250 UMCOR cleaning kits by the end of the month. Cleaning kits (aka flood buckets) provide essential clean-up supplies to people who have experienced a natural disaster. Deploying kits is just one way Missouri United Methodists show up and serve when it matters most. Getting involved is easy: Gather the cleaning kit supplies, assemble the kit and drop it off at your nearest Missouri Disaster Response Hub. [link removed] Learn more here→

The key to being prepared is to make people aware of the plan, both church and community, and to practice and update your plan on a regular basis. This guide will help you to think through and formulate a disaster response plan for your local church. [link removed] Learn more →
