Dear Members and Friends of First Reformed Church:
Many of you know that I served as supervisor for the Reformed Church in Keyport for several years. Keyport and neighboring Union Beach suffered bad damage during the hurricane. Use this link to have an impression about Keyport, even though Union Beach was much more devastated.
Dawn Seaman, the new pastor of our church in Keyport, approached me this morning with the following request:
“What we are really in need of now are gift cards (target, sears, kohls, supermarkets), visa, etc.) that we ensure go to families in need. They are tremendously grateful for even small amounts. Keyport has damage, but Union Beach (2 minutes, next town down where Tom Baldino lives) is devastated. People living in tents. Fortunately Tom is OK.”
Tom is the treasurer of the Keyport church. If you can spare a few dollars and purchase a gift card, it would be much appreciated, if you could bring it to the church office. We will then deliver them to Keyport. Please note that even small amounts will make a difference.
After Hurricane Sandy
Thank you for your support.
Pastor Hartmut
