GIVEfor those who have been impacted by this natural disaster. The Western North Carolina region was impacted by severe devastation, and there are those in Lake Norman who are still without power, water, or access to food and gas. We’ve heard stories of damaged homes and cars.
We are grateful to lend tangible support, and we also continue to pray for the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit, and for His guidance to those who are helping rescue, care for, and protect our most vulnerable neighbors during this time.
Lake Forest Church, as a rule, has two types of giving: general giving, of which 10% goes toward Missio Dei, and capital campaign giving, which goes toward designated building/initiative funds. To give toward Hurricane Relief, we recommend purchasing items for donation and dropping off at local collection sites, or giving directly to local churches or schools in the Western NC region (linked above).
In the first two weeks following Hurricane Helene, our church focused its efforts on collecting Hurricane Relief donations. We worked with organizations like BeLoved Asheville to ship supplies to those who needed them. We have since received word that people/volunteers are needed, rather than supplies, at this time.
We may, however, resume collections in the future. We remain committed to adjusting our efforts to serve the needs of these communities during short, medium, and long term hurricane relief efforts.
