Garden friends – if you’re looking for a way to help those devastated by the flooding in the NC mountains, please pick up a few items from the list below and bring them to the garden Tuesday night. Apex UMC (our sponsoring/founding organization) is assembling flood buckets Wednesday night to help people begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up. UMCOR (United Methodist Committee of Relief) will coordinate the delivery of these buckets to those who need them. If you’d like more information about UMCOR or flood buckets, click on this link.
