Outreach Chairman Darlene Brown helps a flooded family
find the things they need.. |

After the recent flooding in the Conroe and the Houston
areas, we opened our family center as a Red Cross
donation and distribution site for clothes, bedding, cleaning supplies,
and other items for flood victims. Many of our church members, our
Outreach committee, led by chairperson Darlene Brown, and some
other volunteers received and distributed items Monday through Saturday,
June 11 through June 16, from 9 to 6 PM and on Sunday, June 17, from 8 to
3 PM.
The donations started pouring in on Sunday June 10 after announcements
were made at worship services at our sister churches in the Conroe area
that FCC was a Red Cross donation and distribution center. Since
then, many many people in our community have added their donations
also. Over $2,300 in cash has also been donated and was used to
purchase items that were still needed.
Hundreds have been helped and we are thankful for everyone in the
church and in the community who have given of their time and resources to
help our brothers and sisters in need.
