Texas Baptist Men received requests to provide disaster relief in North Carolina, and leaders expect to be called on to serve in Vermont, as well.
“We know there is a need in the New England/Vermont area,” said Dick Talley, TBM logistics coordinator. “We want to respond to the need. We’re waiting for the data from the assessment teams.”
Vermont officials said the state is suffering its worst flooding since 1927. One person has been confirmed dead there, and officials expect to find additional loss of life. More than 260 roads have been damaged.
In North Carolina, about 34,000 people remain without power, down from more than 440,000 immediately after the storm.
TBM disaster relief ministry is supported by designated gifts. To make a donation, visit www.texasbaptistmen.org .
