KBC Sends Disaster Relief Teams to Maine
Release Date: 05/21/2008


FRENCHVILLE, Maine – The Kentucky Baptist Convention is mobilizing disaster relief volunteers in response to recent flooding that caused damage in Frenchville.

According to Coy Webb, disaster relief associate for the KBC, teams of volunteers are scheduled to arrive on site May 22 and May 26 and will continue working through May 31.

Both teams will be working in the area to assist with the mud-out effort. Volunteer workers are still needed, Webb said.

Trained volunteers interested in helping may contact the KBC’s Baptist Men on Mission Department at (502) 489-3527 or (866) 489-3527 (toll free in KY) for more information.

Kentucky Baptists are part of a larger network of Southern Baptist volunteers trained to respond to disasters by manning mass feeding operations, using chainsaws to clear downed trees and limbs, clear mud out of flooded homes and more.

Southern Baptist disaster relief volunteers work in conjunction with other organizations, such as the Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Together, Southern Baptists compose the third largest relief organization in the United States.
