Tohaali Community Flood Relief

FOOD & BLANKET DRIVE THIS WEEKEND

The devastating flash flooding that struck the Navajo Nation this week hits a little closer to home for our Summit family.

A third-grade student at Tohaali School and her grandmother, along with a hero school bus driver, were tragically killed in the flooding on Thursday.

For the past year, Summit Church, through our Native Hope ministry, has had the privilege of supporting Tohaali School and building relationships within their community. Now, the school has reached out for help as families recover from this devastating loss.

This weekend, we’re coming together to help. We’ll be collecting food and blankets to provide much-needed supplies to those affected by the flooding.

If you’re able, please bring donations with you to church this weekend. Every blanket, every bag of food, and every act of generosity is a tangible way to show our Navajo neighbors that they are not alone.

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus and care for a community that has become part of the Summit family.

1. Items will go to Navajo families in the Tohaali Community School area following the disastrous flooding that took the lives of a 3rd grader, her grandmother, and a school bus driver.
2. We are collecting clean blankets in good condition and non-perishable food.  Preferred items:  Pinto beans–canned or dried; canned fruit packed in juice; canned corn, beans and tomatoes–unsalted if possible; dry spaghetti and macaroni; peanut butter; dry milk.  No glass.
3. Bring items to the Native Hope shed at the east end of the Summit Church parking lot on:
          Sunday, September 20, before 12:00 noon, or
