Hurricane Relief

As we continue to lift up in prayer people around the world who have been affected by recent natural disasters, we are excited to share with you our finalized relief team dates and information.

SEAPC will be joining with Samaritan’s Purse to take a team to Rockport, TX in a month. Read on below for further details.

Project Description: Volunteers will be assisting homeowners affected by Hurricane Harvey. Teams will be tearing out damaged drywall, removing flooring, tarping roofs, and clearing debris.

Additional Information: Meals and sleeping quarters will be provided for overnight volunteers. Volunteers need to bring a twin size air mattress or cot, linens/sleeping bag, pillow, towels, and personal hygiene items. Tools will be provided, but volunteers may bring their own tool belts and small hand tools. Volunteers should dress in long pants and bring work gloves, safety glasses, and sturdy boots. Volunteers should bring rubber boots for working in flooded areas.

Minimum Age: Volunteers must be at least 14 years or older. Youth ages 14-15, must be accompanied by their parent/legal guardian and youth ages 16-17 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone (age 21 or older).
