United Methodist Church of Waynesville Flood Relief

Haywood County -- United Methodist Church of Waynesville flood relief information on their website:

United Methodist Church of Waynesville:The recent flooding in Clyde, Canton and Cruso has created immense need in our county. We as a church have already plugged in helping with clothing, water, and finding shelter for those affected by the flood.  

The District Superintendent is working with our conference disaster relief team and we will update as soon as we receive word about their plan. Community organizations already have boots on the ground in several places and our church is trying to find the best ways we can plug into work that is already in place, and to find gaps we can fill.  We are overwhelmed with your willingness to help and we want to direct your support where it is most needed.
