In reply to Pastor Charles Fox.

Thank you, Pastor!

We can easily receive gifts either way, so my recommendation is to use whichever approach will be simplest for your congregation.

Because Disaster Response takes a 'long haul' view of its work, gifts will be valued today, tomorrow and anytime in the months to come. For that reason, your members may want to help immediately and for the long haul which is a mixed approach - send the first collection immediately, then gather additional gifts over a period of time and make a second congregation gift.

If you have additional questions, please call the Donor Care Line: 888-930-4438 My team will be more than happy to help you.
