Let's Help | Supplies for Hurricane Helen Relief

First Presbyterian Church in Spartanburg is in need of supplies in their area for those affected by Hurricane Helene. 

They’ve asked the congregation of Downtown Church to provide supplies for their ongoing ministry called Hand in Hand. Their ministry distributes food and basic necessities directly to student and families with the greatest need. Many of the people in their congregation are not in a position to purchase these supplies right now and stores in the upstate are running low on these needed items. A volunteer from church will drive up all of the donations on Sunday. 

We will have a station set up to write notes of love and prayers to send with your donations if you feel like sending an encouraging message. 

How can you help?

Bring any items from the supply list below and drop them off at Downtown Church (2030 Gregg st). If you can pack your items in a box that would be great for transportation purposes.
