Hoover partners with churches for Hurricane Michael relief
The city of Hoover is partnering with the Association of Related Churches to collect items to help with Hurricane Michael relief efforts.
City leaders have designated all Hoover fire stations as dropoff points for the following items:
- Tarps with roof tabs
- Baby diapers
- Baby formula
- Baby food
- Baby wipes
- Body wipes
- Adult diapers
- Non-perishable food
- Canned food with pop tops
- Batteries of all sizes
- Flashlights
- Bug spray
The items will be accepted through Nov. 2, Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato said.
The Association of Related Churches, a national network of churches based in north Shelby County, is coordinating with relief teams on the ground and volunteers from churches in the Florida panhandle, such as the Destiny Worship Center in Destin, which has multiple campuses, incuding one in Panama City Beach.
ARC, and likely other churches in the Hoover area, also plans to send volunteer teams to assist with relief and cleanup efforts. The American Red Cross also is accepting donations to help provide relief for those affected by Hurricane Michael.
