Ohio Churches Support DR Volunteers
Southern Baptists around the world are asked to stop for a few minutes on Sunday, November 4, and recognize their Convention Disaster Relief Volunteers. These volunteers represent Jesus every time they respond to a disaster by showing His compassion in time of need.
During the most recent hurricane responses, Ohio Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SCBODR) have responded to North Carolina by sending a flood recovery team and a chain saw team. Two deliveries of donated items, including approximately $2,000.00 in gift cards have also been delivered to a warehouse in Washington, North Carolina. A team of ten (10), flood recovery team members are headed for Panama City, Florida on November 3, to serve for a week.
Several churches and individuals have contributed to the response with in-kind donations and monetary gifts. These are very much appreciated and are in support of the following numbers reported nationwide through October 26:
| Hurricane Florence | Hurricane Michael | Year-to-Date | |
| Professions of Faith | 121 | 71 | 372 |
| Volunteer Days | 29,450 | 8,214 | 64,538 |
| Meals | 1,150,436 | 509,328 | 1,234,771 |
| Recovery Jobs | 1,868 | 1,171 | 4,072 |
| Children Cared For | 62 | 7 | 424 |
