When you arrive at the warehouse, please pull through and drop off. Please do not park at the warehouse. If you need to talk with people at the warehouse, please park at the office and walk down the hill. 

If you have access to large-scale donations or equipment that could assist with relief efforts, please contact Pastor Zach Grier.

We recognize that this is a community effort, not just a church effort. If there are ways we can come along beside your organization, please let us know. 

Thank you for your support!
