November 14–16
Hurricane Florence was the most devastating natural disaster that North Carolina had ever experienced (approximately 100,000 homes affected). While Hurricane Helene has wrought similar devastation, the disaster from Florence is still so large that it requires a long term rebuild response by the NC Baptist on Missions (NCBOM) to help get many people back in their homes. NCBOM currently has three different large rebuild centers (including one in Lumberton) where they can house and feed many volunteers who are working on homes. NCBOM manages the rebuilding of homes from these “rebuilding hubs”. So far, over 5,800 recovery jobs have been completed, yet work remains.
We are organizing a Salem trip to Lumberton in November to assist in the rebuild process. The dates are November 14-16 and no prior training is required! There is a charge of $10 per person per day ($30 total), which helps cover your meals (3 meals per day), lodging and insurance. This will be paid on-site upon arriving in Lumberton. NCBOM allows individuals in the 6th grade or older to participate. If you are interested in being a part of this trip or learning more about it, please contact Bobby Nichols at (bobbykim.nichols@gmail.com) or 919-931-9574. We hope to have future Salem trips on weekends (Friday/Saturdays) as well so if unable to make this one, other opportunities will be coming.
