Emergency Disaster Fund gives $20,000 in two grants.

The General Board's Emergency Disaster Fund (EDF) has given $20,000 for a flood recovery program in Ohio and work following spring storms in the Northeast and South.

A grant of $15,000 supports a new Church of the Brethren Disaster Response project in Belmont County, Ohio. The area has been struck repeatedly by severe flooding over the past year. Dozens of homes have been destroyed and 100 heavily damaged. The project begins in June.

A grant of $5,000 supports a Church World Service appeal for severe storm damage and flooding in several states in the Northeast and South. The funds will be used for material resource shipments, seed grants, and support of local longterm recovery efforts.
