FLOOD BUCKET EVENT – WEDNESDAY – NOVEMBER 18 – 7:00 PM
 
The Eastbrook Mission Barn, part of the UMCOR Relief Supply Network, sent more than 3000 UMCOR Cleaning Buckets to needed areas around the country in 2021.  In her January 2022 newsletter, Mission Barn Director Katie Peterson provided the numbers and gave an update on what’s happening and how volunteers can help in 2022. 
She also offered thanks for prayers, donations of money, supplies and kits, as well as service by volunteers.  “Your hands and feet are representing God’s love in large and small ways throughout the world,” she wrote. “Volunteers are the key to missions!”
Katie Peterson will be here at the Holiday Park United Methodist Church on Wednesday, November 16 at 7:00 PM to instruct us and help in creating the much needed Flood Buckets.  This will be an Outreach endeavor.  
The Mission Barn, part of the UMCOR Relief Supply network, also is currently collecting only Hygiene Kits and Cleaning Buckets
You are asked to bring what you are comfortable providing.  We will complete flood buckets from the items that we have in sufficient qualities.
 
Here is the list of items to consider bring… you can complete and bring a Flood Bucket on your own, bring a quantity of a particular item or bring a financial donation.  Your Check should be made out to Holiday Park UMC with “UMCOR” written in the Memo line.
