Our Church's Week of Compassion Hurrican Relief

How Our Church is Helping...Week of Compassion is the relief, refugee and development mission fund of theChristian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada. We seek toequip and empower disciples to alleviate the suffering of others through disasterresponse, humanitarian aid, sustainable development and the promotion of missionopportunities.

Update on Harvey and Irma:

Hurricane Irma:

Power outages and flooding continue in Florida and along the southeast coast.Week of Compassion is working with regional leadership to assess the effects ofIrma on our Disciples congregations. Reports of roof damage and flooding at homesand church buildings have already begun, and we anticipate many more as peopleare able to return from evacuation locations. Congregations across Florida and the

southeast continue to offer shelter and assistance to their communities, with supportfrom regional leadership.

Week of Compassion has an ongoing relationship with the VolusiaInterfaiths/Agencies Networking in Disaster, where we are supporting long-termrecovery from Hurricane Matthew. We have reached out to offer additionalassistance for additional efforts responding to Irma.

Hurricane Harvey:

In the last week, Week of Compassion has distributed over $100,000 in solidaritygrants to households and churches through the Coastal Plains Area and SouthwestRegion. Additionally, our staff has provided information and pastoral support toDisciples congregations making significant impact in their local areas. Ourcongregations span the impact zone--from Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass, andVictoria in the west, to Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange in the east; fromGalveston and Texas City in the south, to Conroe and Kingwood in the north.Disciples have distributed more than 1000 clean up buckets and have helped muckout dozens of houses. Congregations have collected school supplies, hosted meals,and offered prayer for and with their neighbors.

Together with Disciples Volunteering and local and regional leaders, Week ofCompassion is planning for long-term recovery support and volunteer opportunities.
