******************
As you are aware, Ringgold GA was hit hard by the recent tornado. So we are getting up a group to go help our northern neighbors with disaster relief. We will be assisting GEMA (GA Emergency Management Agency) under the direction of the Catoosa County Emergency Operations Center in whatever capacity they may ask of us including debris removal, supply delivery, administration, etc. We would love to have a great showing for this event and show our neighbors love and compassion in a similar way that Christ showed the same for us.
CARPOOL INFO:
We will meet at Best Buy at Haynes Bridge Rd at 5:50 am and leave at 6 am sharp! Don’t be late, we can’t wait! Come with gas on full, and bladders on empty! We realize it is early, but the reward of helping others in need will be well worth it!
DAY DETAILS:
-Check in at 8 am at Ringgold United Methodist Church at Volunteer Tent and receive Volunteer Badge.
-Attend short training session.
-Catoosa Co. Emergency Operations Center will divide us into smaller groups and disperse us to different areas in the city where help is needed.
-We will meet back at Ringgold UMC to do a head count and carpool ride home.
