Flooding Update
Below is the latest update from the Presbytery of the Northern Plains:
Many communities through out North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota are dealing with wide spread flooding.
The Presbytery is in contact with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program and are currently working on creating a Flood Response Team to deal with the ongoing needs in many of our communities.
Right now is a critical time to keep in touch with the Presbytery office so that we can help connect resources with those communities in need. Please let the Presbytery office know of your situation and needs that arise over the next few days, weeks or months.
There is a great need for sandbaggers in the Fargo-Moorhead area. If you are interested in taking part, please contact a volunteer hotline at 701-476-4000.
