SUMMERVILLE, Ga. – Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers have set up a mobile kitchen at Dry Valley Baptist Church to help feed residents of flood-ravaged northwest Georgia. The facility has the capacity to serve 3,000 meals a day.
The National Weather Service reported that 10 to 12 inches of rain fell in some locations of northwest Georgia over the weekend, much of it in a matter of hours on Sunday.
Georgia Baptists had dispatched trucks loaded with bottled water by Sunday afternoon after floodwater got into Summerville’s water system, forcing a water outage that could last a week or more while utility crews make repairs.
Disaster Relief is among the many outreaches funded by Georgia Baptist churches that give through the Cooperative Program, which has been described as the greatest evangelistic initiative of the modern church age.
