Hurricane Ian Aid

January 7-15, 2023

After a successful trip to Florida in October to help with cleanup efforts following Hurricane Ian, POJ’s Disaster Relief Ministry is organizing a second trip for January 7-15, 2023. Volunteers must be able bodied and willing to do manual labor (at your own pace). You do not need to have a background in construction as a variety of skill levels will be needed. Having your own tools (hammer, pry bar, tape measure, gloves, work boots, eye protection, etc) is helpful, as is training in first aid and CPR.

To volunteer, email ministry leader Brown Pearson or call him at 804-347-8895.
