How you can help residents in Texas devastated by Hurricane Harvey

As the catastrophe in Texas plays out in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and all the flooding, people in the local community are already looking at ways in which they can assist. One way is by rounding up any purchases that you make at Kroger. The grocery store is asking its customers round up their purchases to the nearest dollar or making a cash donation when they visit their local Kroger. Customers’ donations will assist the American Red Cross in providing aid to victims of Hurricane Harvey. This began Monday, Aug. 28, 2017 and will continue until Sunday, Sept. 3, 2017.

In Walton County, Faith in Serving Humanity is coordinating efforts with Texas churches to collect some of the critical items that are needed and to get them to the people who need them.

If you can donate any of the items listed below, you are asked to take them this week to the F.I.S.H. Ministry office at 700 S. Madison in Monroe between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.  If you live in the Loganville area and want to donate items for F.I.S.H. to take this weekend to victims in the flood zone, Loganville Fire Chief Carl Morrow is making Loganville Fire Stations available as pick up points.

The following are the ways that you can help F.I.S.H. in this mission.
