In response to the hurricane that has impacted Tennessee and many other states in Appalachia, 2nd Genesis is making preparations to head to Butler, Tennessee. We will provide disaster relief, including food and immediate-need supplies, for the residents of the area displaced by the storm and first responders.
We will continue to receive donations after we deploy for our next trip to Tennessee in case anyone cannot get anything before we go.
If you can provide any of the items listed below, you can deliver them to 2nd Genesis. In Cartersville, we will also receive food and supply donations at City Muffler: 214 N Tennessee St, Cartersville, GA 30120.” You can also contribute by donating through Venmo @Second-GenesisMinistriesInc or the donation page on our site.
If anyone is able to join us while we deliver much-needed supplies and desperately needed hope that only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can provide, please reach us through any of the contact methods below:
As with any disaster of this magnitude, circumstances and needs will constantly change. Please be in prayer for the families who have lost everything, our safe travels there and returning, and that we honor and glorify God by serving the communities of Tennessee while pointing them to the only one who can truly save them.
Here are the current requested items, which will be updated regularly as needs arise:
