A Mountain Home area church, Hope Center Church, has connected with churches in the Houston, Texas area and in Florida to provide continuing help to hurricane victims in both states as they rebuild after two major hurricanes left millions homeless and displaced in both states.Hope Center Church, located across from Baxter Healthcare on Highway 201 North in Mountain Home, is collecting building supplies and other items for hurricane victims and will be sending donated items on to those affected.
Hope Center Pastor Jeff Morgan says he’s spoken with pastors of other churches in hurricane damaged areas and they say people are requesting basic needs of water and immediate supplies. Future needs include building supplies, sheetrock, nails, lumber, etc. Morgan says the Hope Center is asking for donations to help. He says Lowes or Home Depot gift cards would be best.
The church is also collecting building materials if donors want to buy it themselves, however Morgan thinks gift cards make the most sense.
The church has a banner out in front of it and will be collecting the items for the hurricane victims for at least the next few weeks.
The plan is to stay in touch with individuals in both states to make sure donations go to people who are displaced and go to real people in need. The church will be taking items and any monetary donations directly to the victims themselves.
To donate, items can be dropped off at the churchs life center from 10:00 in the morning, until 2:00 in the afternoon and from 6:00 in the evening to 8:00 in the evening, every day.
The church is located at 750 Green Valley Drive in Mountain Home. The phone number is 870-425-2612. More information about this donation drive can be found on the churchs Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/hopecentermh .
