“Hurricane Harvey”
The Church of God in Christ – A Passionate Response To People In Crisis
People in the Houston, Texas Metropolitan area are suffering from this devastating storm of historic magnitude. Tragically, there appears to be more rain in the forecast. There is a tremendous need for food, shelter, clothing, hygiene products, and volunteers.
Coordinating with Federal, State and Local emergency management officials, the Church of God in Christ is immediately executing an aggressive strategy that will include a nationwide appeal for resources and an organized regional collection and delivery process that will maximize impact and speed up response and recovery. COGIC will be focus on caring for as many people as possible satisfying the immediate need for emergency food and shelter.
Goal:
- To mount a massive, national response to the crisis in the Gulf by collecting and deploying resources made available throughout the church in a way that will be most impactful;
- To establish regional collection centers with streamlined processes in place to convey the resources collected to impacted communities;
- To determine exactly what the needs are in impacted communities and provide our churches with a recommended list of resources to be collected;
- To immediately launch a national campaign encouraging Jurisdictions, Churches and individuals to send resources to the regional collection centers; and to
- To establish a COGIC SUPER RESOURCE CENTER in Houston, Texas.
- The COGIC SUPER RESOURCE CENTER shall facilitate trucks, cargo, response teams, and volunteers to be dispatched to critical areas on short notice at the direction of the National COGIC Missions Director operating at Ground Zero (Houston and impacted communities throughout the Gulf Coast Area).
