Union Rescue Mission, in partnership with Giving Children Hope and Lindale Assembly of God Church, delivers hurricane relief supplies to needy families in Houston, Texas.

Hurricane Ike hit Houston on September 13, 2008 causing major damage and leaving thousands of people in need of food and shelter. Lindale Assembly of God Church took up the challenge of providing food and shelter to hundreds of people each day after the storm hit the city. Under the leadership of their pastor and his wife, Randy and Jana Meeks, Lindale Assembly of God continues each week to help those people around them who seek their help, and the church plans to continue to help as long as the need exists.

The supplies delivered on April 30, 2009 to help with the hurricane relief efforts included: food, bottled water, toys, over-the-counter medicines, vaporizers, children’s vitamins, body lotions, soaps, disposable razors, and disposable diapers to name a few of the items.
