How You Can Help with IDES Disaster Response
In light of the recent earthquakes in both Ecuador and Japan and as we enter U.S. storm season, we want to highlight a few of the ways in which you can personally serve through IDES during times of disaster.
1.) By donating to the general Disaster Response Fund. Every cent of your generous gift will be put towards your desired designation: Disaster Response
2.) By providing specific disaster-related items to families in need through the IDES Gift Catalog. Check out the variety of items you can lovingly provide here: Gift Catalog
3.) By participating as a group in Preparedness Training. There is no better way to respond to a disaster than by being fully prepared for it. Is your church family ready to serve your community when crisis strikes? Find out more by calling 317-773-4111.
