The KNCSB Disaster Relief feeding team is continuing to serve in the aftermath of the devastating tornado on Friday night, May 4, in Greensburg, Kan.

As of Wednesday, May 23, the team had served 30,025 meals.

Opportunities are very limited for volunteers to do hands-on ministry in the stricken community. At this point, Kansas-Nebraska Southern Baptist can best help Greensburg through prayer and giving money.
