Hurricane Ian Aid

September 30-October 7, 2023

Continuing their efforts to help west Florida recover from Hurricane Ian, POJ’s Disaster Relief Ministry will be conducting a fourth trip to the area in October. Their efforts will be centered again in the town of Wauchula (marked with the red pin). The first two trips were to the area marked by the yellow pin. Volunteers of all skill levels are needed to help with home repairs. A cook also would be helpful. During the trip in May, volunteers installed trim and painted walls, updated a bathroom with new fixtures, and replaced a water heater.

To volunteer for this trip or ask questions, email ministry leader Brown Pearson or call him at 804-347-8895.
