District-wide Plea for Assistance


Our brothers and sisters in the Del Rio area need our help because of the recent and continued flooding. There are people in Del Rio that are flooded out and are receiving assistance, but Del Rio's concern is the 2000+ families in Acuna` that have lost everything. The Rev. Tim Brewer has asked for 2 lb. bags of rice and beans; bottled water; cereal (cheerios or chex brands); crackers; individual packed boxes of snack items. Items can be delivered to the First UMC - Del Rio or to the First UMC - San Angelo.

If you have any questions, please contact Sherri Walker or Cheri Brewster at (325) 655-8981 or the First UMC in Del Rio at (830) 775-1541. If you would like to volunteer to haul the trailer of items to Del Rio from First UMC in San Angelo please contact Sherrie Walker at the number above.

An update will be sent out early next week on what else may be needed. The Conference and Bishop Dorff will be sending out information as well in a Conference-wide plea.

Thank you all for your prayers and efforts in assisting our District and our neighbors.
