We continue to send shipments to areas hit by Hurricane Michael.
As of this post, tomorrow morning Saturday, 10/27 our 16th shipment to Florida and Georgia in 15 days, will leave our Nashville warehouse.
Our shipments are a 53' semi-trailer full of supplies, ranging in retail value from $85,000 to $69,000 depending on the items they did not need after previous shipments were received that were not completely distributed.

Here is a summary:
The Jenks Ave church, Panama City, FL will unload it's 4th shipment of basic supplies at their building tomorrow afternoon. Oct 27.

The Palo Alto church, Panama City, FL will unload it's 3rd shipment of supplies tomorrow mornng, at their building,

The Franklin County church, Eastpoint, FL unloaded it's 2nd shipment of supplies at the Eastpoint fire hall, this afternoon, Oct 26th.

Also while taking care of Florda and Georgia, we delivered 1 shipment to the Kingsland church in Kingsland, TX and 1 shipment to the Marble Falls church in Marble Talls, TX for flood victims in the area northeast of Austin,TX.

Our volunteers packed 1,500 family food boxes yesterday, Thursday, October 25th so we could continue to send help to areas in need.

We've also ordered 2 orders of appliances, 2 orders of furniture, and 2 orders of mattresses for the Dillon church in Dillon, SC where some are getting back into their homes after Hurricane Florence. This phase of our help to low-income, uninsured families will go on for a long time, because rebuilding will take a long time with so many homes damaged.

Please continue to pray for all of these families that have lost their homes and loved ones from the storms.
Thank you for your support of this work.
