MNA Disaster Response Specialist for the Carolinas, Steve Jessen, was recently called on to coordinate help for two South Carolina based PCA congregations with members who lost everything in tragic fires. After a quick assessment Steve quickly made a call to the MNA Charles H. Jones Family Disaster Response Warehouse in Rome GA and ordered two Sheds of HOPE. Steve mobilized volunteer teams which quickly setup the Sheds of HOPE which are now providing secure storage for recovered belongings.

In the past, Sheds of HOPE were typically only provided after major disasters such as hurricanes or long-track tornadoes. Now MNA Disaster Response is equipped to provide assistance to congregations after smaller events. Take a look at the linked video to see how Sheds of HOPE was able to meet and immediate need.

We are overjoyed and thankful that MNA leadership thought it appropriate to feature MNA Disaster Response Sheds of HOPE in the August edition of Multiply, the flagship media resource of MNA. Please take a few minutes to watch the video linked below.

MNA Disaster Response has approximately 90 Sheds of HOPE ready to go at the MNA Charles H. Jones Family Disaster Response Center in Rome GA and the MNA John Browne Family Disaster Response Center in Dallas TX.
