Hurricane Helene Relief  How Can We Help?

• Many of you have asked this question concerning our current disaster relief situation. The short answer is, there are many opportunities for us to serve together and many ways that you can give. The churches of Caldwell County are working in a concerted effort to meet the needs of our communities and beyond. Caldwell County has asked that churches in our area serve as donation locations for goods to be distributed in an orderly fashion. Please contact your church office or the Baptist Center to find a donation drop-off site.

 

Individuals may make donations to our Caldwell Baptist Association Disaster Services fund in the following ways:

1. You may give through your church, with the designation “CBA - Disaster Services”

2.  You may give directly to the Caldwell Association Disaster Services fund by mail or in person. Make check’s out to Caldwell Baptist Association with a notation “CBA - Disaster Services”. 

Mail gifts to Caldwell Baptist Association, 208 Nuway Circle, Lenoir, NC  28645.
