Carl Clark and Craig Gibson of Heartland Presbytery in Missouri unload relief buckets.
Ferncliff’s Disaster Assistance Center has been blessed with incredible support from congregations in Tennessee, Missouri, and Kansas over the past week! Thanks to generous donations from multiple churches and dedicated volunteers, we have received over 5,000 pounds of relief supplies for those recovering from disasters.
On November 1, members of Farmington Presbyterian Church in Germantown, Tennessee, led by Pastor Rebecca Luter, delivered 45 relief buckets. Cooper Patterson and Jerry Hosier brought the donation directly to Ferncliff and stayed to help us unload, showcasing their community’s spirit of service.
A few days later, on November 4, we received an impressive delivery from churches in the Heartland Presbytery in Missouri. Thanks to the coordinated efforts of Carl Clark and Craig Gibson, Ferncliff received 1,230 pounds of supplies, including 57 buckets, school kits, hygiene kits, and period packs. These essential items will make a real difference for those in need.
