CALLING ALL VOLUNTEERS
Help make a difference in our community. Will you help?

Many of the storm victims are like us! They are teachers, business executives, parents, children, retirees, students, church members, friends, family, neighbors…you name it. But the one thing we all have in common is our lives can change suddenly without notice. We are saddened by the devastation from the various tornadoes and storms. Together we can show the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciative for these families throughout the various communities and cities. Just remember the rebuilding process for the families will be a long tedious one. Please keep them in your daily prayers. SIC, Inc. will join a city in the cleanup efforts. Will you volunteer your time and donate your resources to the storm victims? Information is provided below to share. Please, remember that ongoing help will be needed in the months to come. Do what you can now and continue to help out later.

Thank you and God Bless You!
