Sheds of Hope
A ministry of Mission to North America (MNA), Sheds of Hope is a program that began as a disaster relief response after Hurricane Katrina. This region’s Hurricane Helene Sheds of Hope relief response is based out of Memorial Presbyterian Church in Elizabethton. Walnut Hill has been joining teams from other churches at Memorial to construct these sheds. The sheds give folks who have lost everything a secure, weatherproof place to store recovered belongings. If you’d like to join in this work, contact our church office at office@walnuthillchurch.org.
If you’d like to give financially to this project, write a check to Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church and note Sheds of Hope in the memo.
