How to help Houston
As a part of the immediate relief effort for those affected by Hurricane Harvey, VPC's Mission Team has donated $1,500 to Samaritan's Purse, a Christian relief organization. If you feel called to support relief efforts in the Gulf Coast area, please consider Samaritan's Purse: samaritanspurse.org/donate. VPC's second phase of assistance will be working with Presbyterian churches in the area to help rebuild their communities.
