Hurricane Helene Recovery Appeal

The impact of Hurricane Helene is widespread and devastating, as more than 200 people have been confirmed dead, over 1 million people are still without power, and damages are estimated to be over $140 billion. We know of two UCC congregations on Florida’s Gulf Coast whose church buildings suffered significant flood damage, and another building that experienced structural damage from high winds. We continue to be in touch with our Southern, Southeast, and Florida Conferences as they work to contact local congregations and become aware of their needs.

The United Church of Christ has a long history of supporting communities as they recover from disaster well after their plight fades from the headlines. As we continue to pray for and respond to those who have experienced unimaginable loss this past week, please consider a gift to the Hurricane Helene Recovery Appeal. Your gifts matter. This is something you can do to help alleviate suffering, rebuild homes, and restore communities. Your gifts will make a difference to those who are struggling during these difficult times and enable needed assistance as we stand with impacted communities in the years ahead. Thank you for your generosity.

November 2 – Blood Drive at Ivy Chapel

Ivy Chapel is again hosting a Blood Drive with Impact Life on Thursday November 2, 2023 from 2- 6 pm.

Our organizer, Sue Wilson, said, “I was speaking with a friend the other day about the blood drive  Ivy Chapel UCC hosts twice a year. She works in a local hospital and said that last week 1 patient required 20 units of blood and another had used 18 units of blood and would probably require more. The hospital she works at was scrambling to obtain emergency blood supplies to meet the needs of these 2 patients.”

Blood supplies are again dangerously low and we need YOUR HELP!

Schedule your appointment here , or contact event coordinator, Sue Wilson at 314-324-3765 for help setting up your appointment.

Thank you for choosing to give the gift of life!

May 11 – Blood Drive at Ivy Chapel

Are you among the less-than-10%? That’s how many people donate blood. But at some point, anyone could need blood due to an accident, surgery or severe illness. Blood supplies are dangerously low, so we need your help. Ivy Chapel is hosting an ImpactLife Blood Drive on Thursday, May 11 from 2 to 6 p.m.

Schedule your appointment time here, or contact event coordinator Sue Wilson at 314-324-3765.  Thank you for giving the gift of life!
