U.S. Disaster Relief teams are helping hurting homeowners in the northwestern part of the state.
Samaritan’s Purse is deploying to Iowa where heavy rainfall has caused Gov. Kim Reynolds to declare a disaster zone across 21 counties. Rivers have swelled beyond historic flood levels, and waters have damaged or destroyed more than 1,200 homes.
Loaded with tools and equipment, Disaster Relief Unit #3 left our Wilkes Office and Warehouse in North Carolina today and is expected to arrive Saturday, June 29, in Spencer, Iowa. Located just over 90 miles northeast of Sioux City, Spencer is particularly hard-hit by the flooding and its local resources are not sufficient to address all of the current needs.
Our team prays before Disaster Relief Unit #3 departs North Carolina for Iowa.
In the coming days, volunteers will begin helping owners mud out their homes, tear out damaged drywall, and treat for mold suppression.
Volunteer with U.S. Disaster Relief
We are currently working in eight locations across seven states through our U.S. Disaster Relief teams. In addition to Iowa, we are ministering to hurting homeowners in Arkansas, Florida, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and in two Texas locations to provide relief from storms, wildfires, and floods. In each location, we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to people at their time of need.
