Aid for Hurricane Ida VictimsBased on information the Presiding Bishopric has received from local leaders, church members and church properties in the southern United States were spared damage by Hurricane Ida. 

As part of the larger community, however, Community of Christ is sending oblation support to three agencies providing aid in the area. The church contributed $3,000 USD to each organization listed here. The bishopric has researched these agencies and is satisfied they provide quality support and good stewardship of contributions.
  • Project Hope provides medical personnel and hygiene supplies for families in shelters. Project Hope works with local partners to identify urgent health needs and provide personal protective equipment, including N95 masks, against the COVID-19 surge in Louisiana.
  • United Way of Southeast Louisiana supports immediate relief and long-term rebuilding. It also supports community grants to partner organizations providing direct disaster recovery assistance.
  • American Red Cross mobilized hundreds of trained disaster workers and relief supplies to support people in evacuation shelters. About 600 volunteers were prepared to support Ida relief efforts, and shelters were opened in Louisiana and Mississippi, with cots, blankets, comfort kits and ready-to-eat meals. The organization also positioned products needed for blood transfusions.

Thank you for your ongoing generosity that makes donations like this possible. 

Contributions to Worldwide Mission Tithes, the source of oblation funds, can be made online or by check sent to Community of Christ, 1001 W. Walnut St., Independence, MO, 64050.
