Do you have the "urge to serve?"If you got the "urge to serve", we got the opportunity for you!! Join Team 7 in Western North Carolina as we continue to help the many who are still trying to rebuild their homes and their lives over 2 years after Hurricane Helene. Come, encourage their souls and be refreshed by the mountains of southern Appalachia in the Fall. Fast Facts
LaRoche and Co Missions is excited to announce our 7th Hurricane Recovery Mission Trip to western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene in late September 2024. The first trip was late October 2024, when Russ, Lori, and Grace delivered a truck load of donated items and served with Samaritan's Purse. This was followed by a 2nd trip in November 2024 and then 3 more in March, June and November of last year. Our most recent trip (#6) was in June of this year. YOU ARE INVITED TO SERVE WITH US November 7-14 2026. As in previous trips, we will partner with another ministry already on the ground focusing on home rehabilitation and construction. There are still many people who are displaced from their homes. It is estimated it will take (at minimum) another 2 years to address the needs of the households impacted by Helene's devastation. That is why we are committed to continue to serve until the work is done. We are partnering with a group called DISASTER RESPONSE which is a coalition of Long's Chapel, Oteen Baptist, the North Carolina Region of the Global Methodist Church and other local groups and individuals who are working cooperatively for the betterment of the affected region of Western North Carolina. This is our 3rd trip with them and we look to continue this partnership as we consider them great people to work with, well-organized, and with the right focus on serving in the name of Jesus. If you are ready to jump in, complete the online application now. A deposit of $100 is not required at this time but should be paid by the deadline of October 25. Estimated max cost for the trip is $450 which will include transportation, food, and lodging. A final cost will be set following the deadline. Note: you will be responsible for your own personal expenses including travel meals and a few "eating out" meals during the week. Applications after the October 25 deadline will be considered on a case by case basis. Children under the age of 16 should be accompanied by a parent or a responsible adult designated by the parent.
