Kentucky Tornadoes Update

Virginia Baptists Disaster Response remains in contact with leaders of the ongoing response to tornadoes in Kentucky in December. They have completed cleanup and chainsaw operations and are slowly shifting to rebuild in the coming weeks. We are sending an initial donation made possible by the generous gifts of Virginia Baptists and will support ongoing rebuild with additional funds and volunteers as requested. Please continue to pray for people affected by tornadoes in Kentucky and other states and give to support rebuild.

Rebuild in Hurley, VA

Virginia Baptist Disaster Response will continue rebuild operations in Hurley with teams able to serve beginning November 1. Volunteers will stay at a local church, with COVID protocols in place for all volunteers on site. Thanks to generous local donations, the cost of all food will be covered, so the only cost to volunteers will be travel to and from Hurley.
As we move toward the Christmas season, we ask you to help us restore people’s homes to a safe, warm, and dry condition by serving in Hurley in the coming weeks. Local volunteers have done a wonderful job – giving of themselves every week to help get people back in their homes. Now we need your help to continue the work. Sign up below, and we will contact you with a confirmation of dates and location.

Thank you so much for providing us with the shower trailer during Operation Witchduck. Our teams were better prepared to focus on the mission and serve the community because of your support.
