HURRICANE HARVEY ASSISTANCE

FPCP is partnering with Broadway United Methodist Church to send items to assist those affected by Hurricane Harvey.  The items needed are listed below.  Donations need to be in to our church by this Wednesday at noon.  If you bring them directly to Broadway they need to be in by 3:00pm.  For those able to assist in packing the truck, please meet at Broadway at 5:00pm Wednesday evening. 

If you prefer to give a financial contribution, you might consider giving through Presbyterian Disaster Relief.  Their website is http://pda.pcusa.org if you would like to learn more about this agency and the many ways they help victims of natural disasters.  You can give in several ways:

• Online, click on the red “Donate Now” button at the top of the screen. 
• By mail, checks can be sent to: Presbyterian Church (USA), P.O Box 643700, Pittsburgh, PA 37000. 
• You can call 1-800-872-3282 to give by credit card over the phone. 
• You can also text PDA to 20222 to give a $10 donation which will be applied to your next phone bill.  If you wish to designate your gifts specifically for Hurricane Harvey victims you may do so using the code DR000169-Harvey.

Thanks for the many ways you are reaching out to show God’s love to those in need during this time of crises.  As always, I am so proud of the way God’s love shines through our church family!

Blessings –

Jenna
