Church of Our Saviour Hurricane Helene Disaster Relief Drive

Church leaders with Church of Our Saviour on Betsy Kerrison Parkway wanted to share a special thank you to our residents of Seabrook Island.

Back in October, the church held a Hurricane Helene disaster relief drive and leaders said the response from our residents was overwhelming. They added our residents made a huge difference in gathering essential supplies for those affected by the disaster.

Leaders said thanks to their generosity, they delivered not one but two truckloads of supplies to a church in Edneyville, North Carolina.
