Disaster Warehouse in Decatur to close this weekend

Please note: Due to the inclement weather forecast, The United Methodist Disaster Warehouse in Decatur will close on Friday, Jan. 29 at 4 p.m. for the weekend. The Warehouse will reopen on Monday morning at 9 a.m.

Today, volunteers from the Warehouse are networking with the Tennessee Conference and will be sending an eighteen wheeler full of health kits to the main UMCOR Sagar Brown Depot in Louisiana next week.

There is still a need for health kits. The warehouse is also collecting these specific items: rice, dry beans, baby formula and diaper rash ointment. All items may be delivered to a drop off location (see below) or directly to the Warehouse in Decatur. Please call to schedule a delivery time at the Warehouse (256) 341-9961.

Director for the Disaster Warehouse Rev. Ray Crump says, “Thanks, to every United Methodist for your time spent volunteering, your contributions, and especially your help at the warehouse. For those who have not been to the warehouse, come see what God's church is doing. Wear warm clothes and bring a camera. You will be blessed!”
