Mission Trips

Hurricane Irene Recovery in Eastern North Carolina - January 13-16, 2012

• WHEN - We are planning a trip for Martin Luther King weekend: leave Friday after work, carpool to our host church (in eastern NC), work Saturday - Monday, return in the afternoon.
• WHO - anyone 15 years and older. Maximum of 10 people.
  • Participants must complete the UMC Conference forms and return to Stuart.
  • Note: the insurance fee stated at the end of the form is waived for this work.
• WHAT - The water flooded most homes to the level of 2' above the 1st floor. It came in quickly and left quickly. The type of work we have seen is pulling everything out of the crawlspace, taking up the floor sheathing, cutting the sheetrock 2' above the floor, removing insulation, then replacing with new materials.  The areas are typically low income. They estimate 1-2 years restoration work.

  • Stay in a church, w/ some other groups
  • Non-cooking breakfast, sandwiches for lunch
• COST - not sure at this point.
