Video: Eight Days Of Hope To Launch Feeding Ministry In Texas

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI)-A ministry that has helped tens of thousands of people in the wake of natural disasters is gearing up to launch a new effort in Texas.

Tupelo based Eight Days of Hope is organizing a trip to Texas, in the wake of catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

The ministry helps people clean up and repair their homes after natural disasters. On this trip, they will use a new tool, a 53 foot feeding trailer.

More than 2,000 meals can be prepared in 90 minutes with the state of the art feeding trailer that was donated to the ministry.

Steve Tybor is president of Eight Days of Hope and says the need is tremendous.

“You have ten thousand families, or more, their house got damaged by Hurricane Harvey, and this is where we as the Body of Christ and a group of volunteers can come together to bless people, and you don’t have to be gifted, it doesn’t take, a contractor to gut a house to pull insulation out, to listen to the homeowner’s story to pray with them, to love them, to make meals, to pick up volunteers from a airport, there’s something for everybody at Eight Days of Hope,” Tybor said.

The feeding unit will head to Texas as soon as FEMA gives the all clear. In the meantime, those interested in helping can go to the ministry’s website, at www.eightdaysofhope.com
