Volunteers will start working in these devastated communities Monday, Oct. 20, helping in Jesus' Name as homeowners begin to recover from these historic floods.
A series of storms coming off the Pacific rolled through Colorado over the past several days, dumping a historic amount of rainfall in the southwest corner of the state. The rains prompted hundreds of evacuations as rivers overflowed their banks and levees were breached. Scores of homes flooded.
These downpours came as the remnants of tropical storms Priscilla and Raymond made their way across the American Southwest. La Plata and Archuleta counties in Colorado are among the hardest hit locations.
SIGN UP TO HELP STORM-WEARY HOMEOWNERS
Samaritan’s Purse is responding to these devastated communities in southwest Colorado. Disaster Relief Unit 6 (DRU)—a tractor-trailer filled with relief supplies and equipment—recently arrived in Colorado from our Southwest Ministry Center in Coppell, Texas, to support this response.
Our army of dedicated volunteers will start on the ground beginning Monday, Oct. 20, helping hurting homeowners recover in Jesus’ Name.
Teams will be sent into the communities to mud-out flooded homes, remove soiled drywall and flooring, and salvage personal belongings—all the while sharing the love of God with families devastated by the floods. Our host church during this response is Pine Valley Church in Bayfield, Colorado.
Pray that the families of southwest Colorado know God’s peace during these difficult times.
