Hurricane Relief: You Can Help.

September 9, 2008 in Other Stuff with Comments Off

Last Monday, Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast region. As of September 5, power is expected to be out in parts of Louisiana for about 4-6 weeks and many people’s homes are destroyed.

NewSpring is partnering with Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge to assist with relief efforts. During Sunday services we collected bottled water, canned food and blue tarps at both the Anderson and Greenville campuses.

You can still help. Folks are still in great need for blue tarps. It would be amazing if you could help them out by donating one or several. You can order them individually online and have them sent to the address below:

Healing Place Church

Here’s a video from Senior Pastor Dino Rizzo further describing the need for assistance:

    I just got back from Baton Rouge yesterday. We still have a team down there. HPC and Bethany are doing an amazing job meeting the needs of people.

    They can definitely use tarps… and gas cans.
