RICHMOND, Va. — The Virginia Department of Emergency Management is asking faith-based organizations and volunteer groups to adopt repair and reconstruction projects in Virginia to help with continued recovery from last spring’s destructive tornadoes.
“We want to encourage Virginia Baptist churches to do this if they can,” said Dean Miller, who coordinates disaster relief for the Virginia Baptist Mission Board.
Local recovery task groups have identified specific projects in affected counties and need both skilled and unskilled volunteers to complete them. Funding for materials will be provided by the local recovery task groups.
