Help Respond to Flooding in Nashville, TN

On May 1, 2010, middle Tennessee received over 10 inches of rainfall before mid-afternoon. By the next morning, the rivers exceeded their previous highs by over 14 feet. Over 30 people have lost their lives and 42 counties have been declared disaster areas. At least 18,000 people have already registered with FEMA for assistance.

As the waters recede, thousands of homes, churches, schools and other buildings are left in need of repair. The current estimated flood damage exceeds $1.56 billion in Nashville alone and that number continues to rise.

 Integral to the Forward Edge mission is showing Christ's love through long-term recovery and disaster response work.
