Georgia/Florida Disaster Relief Teams
PRUMC is creating response teams to immediately help those hit by natural disasters. Teams will serve for a 3-5 day period mostly clearing debris and helping salvage family treasures. Specific skills are not required; just a heart to serve and energy for a couple of days of manual labor. If you are interested in this new ministry, or if you know others who may be, please contact Dawn Hawkins at dawnh@prumc.org to learn how you can be a hero to those facing devastating loss. Thank you!
