Disaster Relief Line (USA)
1-800-825-2806, ext. 1212
When natural disasters strike and communities are
evacuated, congregational pastors in affected areas often have difficulty
communicating with their members to determine their situation. At the
request of mission center officers affected by recent hurricanes,
International Headquarters has established a phone number U.S. members can
call in case of disasters. This provides callers a place to leave
information about the situation in their area and the assistance they may
need.
We encourage local leaders to advise members of this
service in advance. The message is: After you are somewhere safe, call the
Community of Christ U.S. Disaster Relief Line at 1-800-825-2806, ext.
1212. Leave the information requested and it will be passed on to those
who can offer assistance for your area.
