January 1, 2025– The work continues in Arden NC in response to Hurricane Helene. We are incredibly thankful to each and every volunteer who has prayed, every person who has served, and every church and individual who has given to help meet the tremendous needs presented by this wild hurricane!!

We are currently scheduling teams through the end of January. At that time the local church and presbytery leadership along with MNA Disaster Response Staff members will determine how the work will proceed through the coldest winter days in this mountainous region. With every disaster event there are two phases; first, disaster response – bringing stability to the impacted community. Second, disaster recovery – this is when actual rebuilding takes place and is a long-term commitment. By the end of January we will be moving into the second phase of this disaster. One particular type of work that is being considered is the building of Sheds of Hope and scheduling teams to come in on specific weekends or spring break weeks to help with those builds.

We will post here information about next steps once the leadership makes their decision about how to proceed.
