Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief
The Church of Christ at Indian Land is committed to serving those affected by Hurricane Helene. The recovery efforts will be long-term, and we will continue to support those in areas of devastation throughout the coming weeks and months.
Donations may be dropped off at the POD located in our parking lot at 635 Jim Wilson Road Indian Land, SC. Items needed are listed below. Monetary donations will also be collected for future building, construction and structural repair needs. Monetary donations can be made online HERE by selecting “Helene disaster relief” from the dropdown menu.
Feet on the ground and willing hands to work alongside the victims at the disaster site are also needed. Please do not just drive to western North Carolina to “help.” Be sure you are working with an established organization (local or national) that has integrity, purpose and knowledge of the needs.
