Weekly Update

August 10 2020

1.  The UM Disaster Relief Warehouse located in Decatur AL shipped over 13,000 Christmas Shoe Boxes in 2019.  This would not have been possible without our Volunteers, HUB Locations/Contacts and participating Churches!  Thank You So much For Your Support!  
More Good News!  Our 2020 Christmas Shoe Box Campaign is moving forward!
Please consider supporting this much needed Ministry!  We realize that the COVID 19 Pandemic will present unique challenges for the ministry this year.  We've adjusted deadline dates and we are flexible if more time is needed.  We can arrange shipment/drop off of flat shoe boxes and pick up/shipment of completed shoe boxes from your location back to the warehouse if needed.   The 2020 instruction/information sheet (available by email or on our website:  www.umdisasterwarehouse.com) includes important dates and information for the ministry. 
 
 We also have several HUB locations where flat shoe boxes can be picked up and completed boxes dropped off.  The HUB location list is available by email or regular mail. 
 
 We have a Power Point of photos from this ministry in 2019.  If you need a CD please contact us and we'll send one right way!
 
  Again, the 2020 information sheet is available on our website at www.umdisasterwarehouse.com   Please contact me at 256-341-9961 or at either email Christmasshoeboxes@gmail.com, disaster.warehouse.alabama@gmail.com with questions or information requests.
