16th Annual Disaster Ministries Auction

May 16-17, 2008

Rockingham County Fairgrounds, Harrisonburg, VA

Brethren Disaster Ministries

“Thou shalt open thine hand wide onto thy brother, to thy poor and to thy needy in thy land.” Deuteronomy 15:11.

Sixteen years ago, the Shenandoah District organized the Disaster Response Auction as a way to help those affected by natural disasters, both in our own country and abroad.  Since then, the auction has raised over $2 million.  The monies raised from the auction and other fundraising events go toward the Brethren Disaster Relief Fund. This fund allows the Church to send immediate supplies, childcare and volunteers to areas affected by natural disasters.
