PNW Disaster Relief Fund
Hundreds of homes and lives have been forever changed by the wildfires that
broke out across Eastern Washington and the Spokane area on August 1, the most
devastating in a summer marked by fires and disasters across our region. As
containment increases there, recovery for Spokane and other affected communities
is only beginning, and your prayers, presence, and gifts make that walk alongside
them possible.
Please consider donating to the wildfire relief effort by giving to the PNW Disaster
Relief Fund (Advance #352).
This helps our Conference disaster response coordinators to help people in times
like these.
Please see the Thursday weekly newsletter email for the link, or our
fairwoodumc.org website’s GIVE page.
