2024 Hurricane Tree Project

For the 3rd year in a row, United Women in Faith collected items and donations in order to provide low-income Branches families with Hurricane Preparedness Kits. The kits contain important items to weather a hurricane, including lanterns, flashlights, batteries, solar powered phone chargers, first aid kits, masks, can openers, etc.

Thanks to the generosity of our congregation and the dedication of the UWF volunteers, twelve fully stocked hurricane preparedness kits were created — more than any previous year!
