HELENE RECOVERY OPPORTUNITIES

**Please note that all donations are given directly to the people needing it the most. 
As we have seen and heard, the aftermath of Helene is great. Many of our neighboring counties are devastated. Recovery is expected to take years in most areas.

Many in our VerticalLife Church family has had the opportunity to serve and have seen the devastation first hand. We have also seen how the Lord has shown up in a mighty way and is working in the lives of individuals in these areas.  There is a lot of work to be done to help them rebuild their lives.  This is where we can all do something to help.

As a church, we will be "adopting" an area in Barnardsville, NC. We will be partnering with a church to help supply physical needs in the area. Also, we have identified several local families who have literally lost everything and insurance will be unable to assist, that we intend to help with rebuilding as much as possible.

Here's how you can help.

PRAY
Most importantly, PRAY!  We can accomplish nothing else apart from prayer and the Lord's help.

GIVE FINANCIALLY:
In order to help with the rebuilding process, they will need our continued financial support as much as possible.

If you can give, go to our giving page and scroll to find the 'Helene Relief' option.
We are soo thankful for the generosity of our church family and community!

For the time being, we will not be accepting any more Supply Donations.
