UPDATE: We are accepting all of the donations we describe in this video and below it RIGHT NOW (Wednesday) until 9pm in our offices @ 1330 West Peachtree Street, Suite 560, Atlanta, GA 30309. Call 404.461.9850 if you have questions.
Stuff is a whole lot worse for people than I thought it would be. Hundreds…maybe thousands of families have lost everything they own. Everything. Here is a quick video talking about some ways we can help. We will be putting a website up soon for Atlanta Flood Relief and our church wants to be a catalyst that brings people together to provide immediate assistance for people.
People need toiletries, clothes, underwear, socks, food, diapers, baby food, wipes, cars, gift cards, cash, pre-paid cell phones, and everything in between.
Buy them and plan on bringing them directly to our church. We are working out volunteers for shifts now, but need a ton of volunteers in our offices to sort, manage, and immediately distribute stuff as soon as we get it.
You can also make a cash/debit donation online directly to our church and we pledge that a 100% of your donation will go directly to this cause.
If you want to volunteer or donate goods/services, contact me directly @ shaunking@courageous.tv or by phone @ 404.461.9850
If you need assistance because you were impacted by the flood, email or call me right away as well.

I have to take a minute to say that your heart for people never ceases to amaze me. Not only do you talk the talk, but you WALK THE WALK. Your passion is humbling. Having lived through Hurricane Katrina AND Hurricane Gustav, I know first hand what this type of devestation is like and my heart aches for the people of Atlanta right now. People are hurting in ways right now that is almost impossible to imagine. If it were at all possible, I would be in my car, right now, driving to Atlanta to volunteer with relief efforts just like I did at HPC after the storms wreaked havoc here. . It is in times like these that we, as Christians and followers of Jesus Christ, are called to action. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE CALLED TO DO. TO BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS.
I will be making a monetary donation in just a moment. Please know that while I am physically here in the Baton Rouge area, I am with you, Courageous Church and the beautiful people of Atlanta in spirit.
Thanks a ton Lesley! Pray for us & spread the word sis!
Your Friend,
Shaun
Can we mail care packages to your church's address? I'm from Birmingham so I don't think it should take that long to get it there.
Hello Shaun, I live in Michigan and I would like to help out. Do you know of any churches or
organizations collecting in the metro-Detroit area?
Thank you!
