During this year’s Annual Conference session in Bexley, OH, churches and individuals donated 6,183 pounds of kits, buckets, and other supplies for survivors of disasters. In the Bishop’s Buckets of Blessings challenge, the winning district was Olentangy River with 64 Home Care Kits! Other district totals were as follows: Maumee River-55; Great Miami-54; Western Lakes-34; Hocking River-3; and Scioto River-1. A total of 211 Home Care Kits were collected, along with numerous UMCOR Hygiene Kits and other materials. “The real winners, of course, are the people whose hopes will be lifted in the midst of disaster,” Bishop Palmer remarked. All supplies will be distributed through Midwest Mission Distribution Center. THANK YOU, West Ohio, for your generosity and compassion!
