2019 East TN Floods

East Tennessee’s “Overlooked” Floods

In late February, many parts of Tennessee were inundated with floodwaters that, in many instances, have yet to recede. Many survivors find themselves struggling to recover and in the shadows – with little or no acknowledgment of their plight from the media.

Hope Force International (HFI) has deployed teams into the Knoxville area and remains vigilant – actively seeking people and funding to assist in future relief efforts. If you can volunteer to help, please contact info@hopeforce.org

HFI Returns to flood-ravaged Lumberton, North Carolina

Lumberton, NC is a familiar destination for Hope Force International. When Hurricane Matthew brought devastating flooding to this city in 2016, HFI responded – forming deep and lasting relationships with civic and church leaders in this hard-hit city. HFI looks forward to investing in those relationships again as we assist with rebuilding efforts.

HFI will be partnering with a United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) team in Lumberton May 5th - 11th & May 12th - 18th, tackling rebuilding projects together in communities hardest hit by more recent floods.

If you are interested in joining the Lumberton team, please contact info@hopeforce.org.

Nebraska floods: We're all aware of the severe flooding throughout the midwest. Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors of this historic disaster event. As waters recede, the need for assistance will be a welcomed relief. Please stay tuned as Hope Force International explores ways in which we can bring help and hope.
