Pennsylvania Flooding

Why do we do what we do?

We believe that all God’s children are created equal and are deserving of a compassionate and reliable source of critical supplies, regardless of ethnic, religious or cultural background.

From natural disasters to children who need food to live, GFTW reaches out to all people so they will have what they need to survive.

No child has to be hungry. No person has to die from preventable diseases. No child has to be sold into slavery or live in an alley unloved and unsupported.

We have enough — all we must do is learn to share

Flooding throughout Pennsylvania in early September caused mandatory evacuations of over 100,000 people. The Susquehanna River threatened thousands of homes and businesses as it swelled significantly higher than normal flood levels. Gleaning For The World sent four tractor-trailer loads of supplies to the devastated region, which included food, water, blankets and cleaning supplies.

The Faith Aid Network was also in touch with organizations and churches in Harrisburg, PA, Windham, NY and Johnson City, NY, coordinating supplies and manpower to start distribution when roads became passable. You can see the Faith Aid Network’s website and updates here.
