Adventist Community Services - 2012 HURRICANE ISAAC (DONATION COLLECTION)

DISASTER RESPONSE MINISTRY
Adventist Community Services is on site in Southern Louisiana,
seeking ways to best help those who have been affected by
Hurricane Isaac. In some areas there was water eight feet
deep in the houses, and it has now receded to three and a
half feet. The residents have not been allowed to return
home yet, some are still in shelters, while others are
staying with family or friends.

Several churches and schools have asked what they can do to
be of assistance. One project to help following a disaster
is making a variety of supply kits. The kits help provide
basic necessities to people who lack ready access to essential
everyday supplies. By making these kits, a group can make a
direct, tangible difference in sustaining people's lives.
Below are four kits, and each description contains a list of
specific items needed. Gathering and assembling kit materials
as a group can be a great hands-on activity for a church,
school, Pathfinder or Adventurer club, or youth group.

Please ship completed kits to:
