Pike Road Church Gives Back to Louisiana Flood Victims

Flood waters are continuing to recede across Louisiana, but clean up efforts are only now getting underway.

FEMA says the number of people who have registered for assistance in the 20 affected parishes has jumped to more than 103,000. That number is a total the agency hasn’t seen since Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

40,000 homes were damaged and the water reached areas where many thought flood insurance was not necessary. As they try to get things back to normal, you can do your part to help.

Woodland United Methodist Church  is collecting items Monday, August 22, through Thursday, August 25 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Items needed include: Water, Canned Goods, Non-Perishable Foods, Cleaning Supplies, Household Toiletries, Diapers, Baby Food, Bedding, First Aid Supplies, and Toys for children.

Woodland United Methodist Church is located at 4428 Wallahatchie Road, Pike Road, AL 36064. The church can also be reached by phone at 334-272-7230.
