United, Denison Packs Cleanup Kits for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

In 2025, the Mission Committee of the United Presbyterian Church of Denison decided to pack cleanup kits for Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). A PDA cleanup kit consists of a specified list of cleaning supplies, gloves, sponges, etc., packed in a five-gallon bucket. Kits can be given to people in the wake of a natural disaster like a flood or hurricane.

The Mission Committee set a goal of five buckets in 2025. The congregation responded by donating enough supplies and funds for nine buckets. This year, the Committee set a goal of eight buckets.

The people of the United Presbyterian church made it possible to fill twenty buckets. That means that when disaster strikes anywhere in the United States, PDA will be ready to help, in part because of what a small church in Iowa has done.

Thanks to the Mission Committee and members of the United Presbyterian Church of Denison for seeing a need and responding.
