Evangelical Relief Efforts Underway

1,500 Pounds of School Supplies Delivered
The Christian Coalition of Alabama, the Evangelical Environmental Network, and the Mennonite Central Committee Relief and Development (MCCRD) partnered together to help local school children by delivering over 1,500 pounds of school supplies to school children in Alabama in August. With the start of the school year upon us many districts lack adequate supplies given the Gulf Oil Spill and recent economic hardships. The groups secured trucks and were able to get the supplies in time for the start of school. Romar Baptist Church helped to deliver the supplies. We were blessed to have the opportunity to provide for families in need in Alabama.

Raised Gardens for Coastal Communities
Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) has been given the opportunity to work with communities across the Gulf Region to bring raised garden beds to those communities. EEN will be assisting church projects already in the works throughout the region. These garden beds will help communities grow fresh local produce without the constant salinization that is so common in low lying coastal communities. With raised garden beds local communities could grow their own produce to supplement the fish economy already present in these communities.
