Just got this:

North Carolina Baptist Men, providing disaster relief in the wake of Hurricane Irene, are set up in four locations in North Carolina, and they are seeking volunteers.

The four sites are:

  1. First Baptist Church in New Bern (feeding/recovery)
  2. Memorial Baptist Church in Williamston (feeding/recovery)
  3. Manteo Baptist Church (feeding/recovery)
  4. Memorial Baptist Church in Greenville (State Recovery Unit)

 Those interested in helping can get involved in a number of ways:

  • Volunteer—men and women are needed to do mud-outs, chainsaw work, tree and debris removal from homes and yards
  • In Kind Donations—canned food, bottled water, hygiene items, baby products (diapers, formula), cleaning supplies, furniture, appliances (no clothing please)
  • Monetary Donations

 Those interested in volunteering or providing donations should visit this website.
