After last month's devastating floods in Kentucky a local church is organizing to help.
Berkey Church of the Brethren in Windber is connected with Kentucky through almost 25 years of mission trips.
They have come together through their faith in order to help those who have been impacted by the flooding by fundraising money for the victims as well as collecting clothing, canned goods, and kitchen supplies.
They've also made an effort by writing letters to families and putting together photo albums for those who have lost everything.
Jason Crissman, the associate pastor at Berkey Church of the Brethren, highlights the different ways that a community can help.
“How do we walk beside folks who are in that spot?" asks Crissman. "It's not just about throwing stuff at them or throwing money at them it’s how can we walk beside you and it’s a great opportunity for people to say hey we care about you.”
If you want to get involved and help the Berkey Church aid the flood victims, you can donate canned goods, clothing, kitchen supplies, or even cash by dropping it off directly.
You can also show support by stopping by the Central City Last Blast of Summer Fun in the park where church member Rachel Crissman will be selling handmade earrings and donating 100% of the profits towards their friends and neighbors in Kentucky.
