Hurricane Relief Project - Asheville, NC

Lots of places in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina have been hit hard by Hurricane Helene. One in particular is Asheville, North Carolina. We’d like to share Christ’s love, and send some help in their direction. We have made contact with Pastor Kurbis at Living Savior Lutheran Church. He and his congregation have identified a few very specific needs where our donations could make a 100% immediate impact. If you’d like to get involved, go to solafide.com/give and use the “Fund” drop down section to choose “Asheville Relief Project.” If you’d like to learn more about the ministry in Asheville, you can visit their website at lsavior.org.

This Friday, October 11th is a half-day of school (12:30 dismissal) to accommodate parent-teacher consultations. If you have already completed the form, your child’s teacher will be contacting you soon to finalize your appointment time.
