Mission of the Month

Each month, as part of our broader program of Missions, Peace Dale Congregational Church supports a local non-profit organization or program focused on addressing needs within the local community.

October 2026

Nepal Flood Relief through DirectRelief

October's mission of the month is for Nepal flood relief through the organization Direct Relief – Direct Relief works in the US and internationally to expand access to medicine and health care by equipping doctors and nurses with lifesaving medical resources.

​

On Aug. 26, glacial rock and ice collapsed off a peak in the Himalayas located on the Nepal-China border. This caused extensive flooding that traveled 45 miles, leveling villages downstream with rocks and debris and taking out bridges and roads.

​

The health system in this part of the world was limited before the disaster, and what remains after the flood is very challenged to meet the needs of the community. The nearest "hospital" has 17 beds, and a larger facility is a long drive on roads that are in poor condition.

​

Direct Relief is the organization that Missions is supporting this month to provide aid to Nepal. Direct Relief supports the local medical response in two ways. One, they directly ship medical supplies such as IV fluids, diagnostic tests, and wound care supplies, to hospitals and mobile units. Secondly, they provide grants to partners who have personnel on the ground.

​

Direct Relief has been in operation for 78 years and has been involved in Nepal for 40 years. They have the highest rating from charity rating organizations.
