Flooding in Nebraska - From Lisa Maupin

Flood Relief in Nebraska

Many of our communities in eastern and central Nebraska have been affected by recent flooding.  Let us pray for all who live in the affected areas.  Below, you'll find more information about how to take action.


To donate cleaning buckets...
Cleaning up after a flood is a messy job, but UMCOR has standardized the process by creating a supply list for cleaning buckets (formerly known as flood buckets).  These supplies enable people to begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up after a flood.  Click 
here for the complete list.  Contact your district office for information about where to deliver cleaning buckets. Wouldn't it be great if every church donated at least three buckets?

If you or your church needs disaster assistance...
We also want to make sure that those who have been affected in any way realize that they can and should use their district superintendent as a source of assistance. Please let him or her know what your needs are and they will use all of their resources to help meet your needs.

Disaster relief efforts are currently being coordinated by the Rev. Dr. Jeff Hale, Prairie Rivers District disaster response coordinator.  He can be contacted at 308-258-0683.

If you want to volunteer...
Any VIM teams who are needed to work will be coordinated through our Conference VIM Coordinator Lisa Maupin.  She can be contacted at 
lmaupin@bigmuddyumc.org or 402-898-9862.
