UMCOR Kits
Needed kits are currently being sent to our area from the UMCOR Warehouse. We will need to replenish these supplies at a later date. If your church wants to put kits together – and has a place to store them – Hygiene Kits and Tornado Buckets will be needed in the weeks ahead.

We are grateful for your prayers and financial assistance for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ who have been directly affected by the tornados in our area.
Several of our communities and churches were significantly damaged in both the Cumberland River District and the Red River District. We also are getting reports of damage in the Caney Fork River District.
Our Disaster Response team is working with clergy, district superintendents and our bishop to assess damages. So far, we know that we have churches that are severely damaged. Below are photos from Dodson Chapel UMC, Braden Memorial UMC, and East End UMC. We are awaiting reports on congregation members as well as from other churches that may have been affected.
The Tennessee Conference appreciates your financial assistance in responding to this disaster. You may make tax-deductible contributions that will go directly to our disaster response efforts.
Please allow first responders to do their jobs today. We will let you know how you can volunteer assistance as we know more. Our Disaster Response Coordinator, Robert Craig, is assessing how our churches will need help and what types of supplies may be needed.

Sometime back I spoke with someone there about clothing donation and was told that you had a particular need for larger men's sizes. If so, I have a number of good condition larger men's shirts, long and short sleeve, casual and dress. Most of them are at least a 2X or 18 neck. I also have some slacks that range from about 48-52. Thanks.
Do you still have need of larger men's sizes ?
I have a number of pieces in good condition.
