The needs are greater in eastern Ohio and two faith-based groups are developing there. Ellis Wysktra is working with Ditzler. In Tennessee, Moeller has been meeting with religious leaders in the western part of the state and a cooperative faith-based response is evolving to address flooding needs. Officials continue to closely monitor the Mississippi River for the potential of flooding later in the season. Thank you to the contributing denominations, communions and churches.
Swift action is necessary.
