Subject: MCC response to Katrina
Friends, late tomorrow expect a more involved response from MCC/MDS. In the meantime, please check these links: http://www.mcc.org/katrina.html http://www.mcc.org/katrina/katrina050905.html http://www.mds.mennonite.net/Home
As you know, MCC/MDS does NOT want volunteers or resources just now, although as you'll note from the second article, the supplies going to Alabama included 800 cartons (24 cans per carton) of canned turkey, more than 2,000 relief kits, 10,000 comforters and blankets, 5,000 school kits and 5,000 health kits. That means that the store house will need these supplies replenished.
Additionally, the Mennonite leadership in the Gulf States, both conferences and congregations, are being inundated with phone calls. Please spend your time in prayer.
Peace, Susan
