CHILDREN’S DISASTER SERVICES OFFERS VOLUNTEER WORKSHOP IN MILWAUKEE

Children’s Disaster Services is offering a workshop to train volunteers in Milwaukee on August 10-11. The workshop will be held at the Native American Ministry United Methodist Church (1738 S. 11th St.). Lorna Jost is the local coordinator (605-692-3390).

Children’s Disaster Services has been meeting the needs of children since 1980, and is a Church of the Brethren ministry working cooperatively with FEMA and the American Red Cross to provide care for children and families following disasters.

Cost for attending the workshop is $45 for early registration, or $55 for registrations made less than three weeks before the workshop begins. This workshop is part of the United Methodist Volunteers in Missions “teachUM” conference and requires an additional charge of $20 for meals.

Other Children’s Disaster Services Volunteer Workshops are scheduled for September 25-26 in Virden, Ill.; October 9-10 in McPherson, Kan.; and November 6-7 in Sykesville, Md.
