Disaster Relief Units Headed to B.C.
/Two Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief Units have left Calgary bound for flood-ravaged regions of B.C.. The first of these specialized tractor trailers arrived in Abbotsford on Thursday. The second departed for Merritt this morning.
Each relief unit is loaded with flood recovery gear to equip volunteer teams as they prepare to help hundreds of families clean out their flooded homes. Your support continues to be vital.
“Our hearts go out to the people of these communities; many of them are coming home to find their possessions and basements soaked with muddy water,” said Brent Davis, Samaritan’s Purse’s director of Canadian ministry projects.
“The need is great, especially with more bad weather predicted for the near future. That’s why we’re going to Abbotsford and Merritt, to help in Jesus’ Name.”
Many volunteers are urgently needed. If you, your church, or someone you know has the capacity to serve in B.C., visit SamaritansPurse.ca/Volunteer to learn how you can join our teams.
Thank you for your generous partnership that is making this response possible. Please keep praying for families across southern British Columbia and our staff and volunteers serving on the ground.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
