The SEARK Baptist Network disaster relief foodservice trailer is set up at First Baptist Church, to assist electric outage victims, servicemen and women working the area,  along with those using the warming shelter at FBC, for lunch at 11:30am and supper at 5:00pm, today.

There will be no meal Saturday, due to the number of outage victims who now have electricity.

The food and service are provided by local Baptist churches, working together, to serve Drew County.

First Baptist church is located on N. Main St., behind Union Bank.

The gym currently has electricity, and has a generator backup.

Do too short notice, no food service is included, at this time.

The churches of the SEARK Baptist Network came together during the aftermath of the tornado in Montrose to help feed the city and workers.  The feeding unit was deployed Tuesday through Thursday.

Focus now has shifted to supporting chainsaw crews as they do cleanup.

Members of Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church are combining their efforts with Hamburg’s Promise Land church and the ABA, to help the storm victims from Montrose’s Monday night tornado with cleanup.

Members of the church, along with equipment are meeting other members in Montrose, this morning, to help in their time of need.
