We’re eternally grateful for a church family that has generously donated and served this week. Together, we’ve been able to help in dozens of Disaster Relief projects, both here in Orlando and in Ft. Meyers.

Due to high demand, we have reached capacity on our Relief Assistance Form, but we are continuing to collect donations and accept volunteers to help fulfill the current requests.

For those in need, below are some resources provided by the city:

– Flooding & Power Restoration
– FEMA Disaster Assistance
– Operation Blue Roof
– Business Damage Assessment Survey
– Business Physical Disaster Loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans

Additionally, our Food Bank will remain open to the public EVERY Tuesday & Friday from 5pm-7pm. Simply show up to the Curry Ford Campus, park in lot 6, and look for the signage directing you to the Food Bank doors. Our team will be happy to serve you!

We have been so glad to safely regather with so many of you through services and groups this week at our Curry Ford and Michigan St. Campuses. Now that power has finally been restored at our Red Bug Lake Campus, they will be reopening Sunday, October 9 for their regularly scheduled services and programming.
