How Can I Make A Donation?

We have set up a Relief Fund to help those who have suffered a significant loss. This fund will be used to bring relief to those in need. You can give securely here online by selecting "Disaster Relief Fund" from the drop down menu.

Donations can also be sent by mail to Evergreen Church at  910 Hoback St. Erwin, TN 37650 and designated for the relief fund. You can also contact us at (423) 330-1776 if you have any questions. 

Help Support A Family In Need

One of the primary needs in our community currently is to provide essential items to families that have lost everything. As these families put their lives back together and we work together to get them back in a home, we hope to lift their burden by replacing the household items that they lost during hurricane Helene.

The homes listed below are homes that we are involved in remodeling or rebuilding and are in progress, and you can help! Although we are helping these families get back into a home, each family has lost everything. These homes are empty, and they are in need of all of the items that we often take for granted.

We are inviting churches, organizations, and individuals to sponsor a family or particular items for a family. We have provided a list of budgeted items for each family along with a total for the entire household. You can adopt an item or an entire family! You can do this by making a monetary donation for the amounts listed to purchase these items for families.

*Please note that we ARE NOT asking for donations of used items but monetary donations to purchase these items new for the family.
