Buxton Fire Tragedy Help

The Cape Hatteras United Methodist Men (CHUMM) was asked to provide one of the collection points for donations to the families of the fire victims.

Our website https://www.hatterasmethodistmen.org/ has a link for credit card donations. Also we will accept checks and gift cards sent by mail to CHUMM, PO Box 1591, Buxton NC 27920. We cannot accept clothing or furnishings etc. since we don’t have the facilities for them. Your online receipt will serve as a tax receipt. However, we will mail a receipt for checks and gift cards with return addresses.

Of course we’re just one of several means including FB links for getting your donations to those in need. CHUMM was asked to help because of our long standing reputation in the community.

We will have a very capable volunteer manager and auditor for this account. As always 100% goes to the victims. Dare Social Services case workers will advise us on the distribution, although they aren’t allowed to handle funds.

I won’t try to give an update on the tragedy here, but would like to mention that the volunteer first responders, including at least one of our CHUMM members, performed some heroic acts in trying to save the victims. They were emotional victims as well.

Keep your prayers going,

Dennis, for CHUMM
