WIREGRASS: From the Houston County Emergency Management Agency-
As Hurricane Isaias brought tropical storm conditions to our area, residents faced power outages, fallen trees, and damaged homes. During those difficult hours, several local churches answered the call to help their neighbors.
Through our, “Shelters from the Storm” program, these churches generously opened their doors, providing a safer place for individuals and families who needed somewhere to go:
Logos Baptist Church
Memphis Baptist Church
Mt. Enon Baptist Church
Southside Baptist Church
Their willingness to open their doors, share their resources, and care for others represents the very heart of community preparedness. They gave people a place to turn when they needed it most. Church volunteers sacrificed time away from their families to ensure the safety of those in need.
We hope these partnerships will encourage other churches and organizations to consider joining this important community effort.
If your organization is interested in participating in “Shelters from the Storm”, please call 334-794-9720, or email ema@houstoncountyal.gov for more information.
Together as a community, we can ensure no one faces the storm alone.
