If you don't have a brother by blood, you can do the same for a fellow church congregant or anyone else. If you don't have a church, ask a friend who does and he or she will put you in touch with someone you can both trust.
The Church of Christ Disaster Relief Fund.
In September of 2020, my community on the Central Oregon Coast suffered a horrific wildfire, in which 300 families lost their homes. Fortunately, there was no loss of life, due to hurried and reasonably efficient evacuations.
Within days, at my local Church of Christ, a semi truck arrived from Nashville, loaded with every type of item needed: non-perishable food, cleaning supplies, personal care supplies, brand new clothing, sheets, towels, baby items, even tools like wheelbarrows, rakes and shovels. We set up a donation center in the Fellowship Room at my church, and staffed it for nearly three months, giving aid to the burned-out families.
Now, the Church of Christ Disaster Relief Fund is in the Midwest, providing for tornado victims. I feel blessed to be able to donate to them - I’ve seen what they do with my own eyes, and plan to donate in the future.
