When the Lights Went Out: Disaster Response in Moore County

March 28, 2023

In December 2022, a reportedly intentional act of vandalism cut electrical power to thousands of households in Moore County within the Fairway District of the North Carolina Conference. Disaster Ministries worked with churches in the area and delivered generators, solar power disaster response trailers, and other equipment.  Thanks to the generosity of the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and gifts from churches, Disaster Ministries provided grants to three churches in Moore County to help the community recover following the power outage.
