CURE is a warehousing and sorting operation that creates stock piles of staple foods, bedding, and household supplies, which can be trucked or shipped to areas of need in times of disaster. These supplies are delivered to a local church of Christ (or other appropriate organization), thereby supporting the work of the local church.
In addition to the April 1996 relief effort, CURE has responded to six other tornado sites within Arkansas and Oklahoma. Although its regular disaster relief program is regional, CURE has also provided aid to a number of churches in response to Regional Flooding,Hurricane and Tornado Disasters.
Other types of aid have also been undertaken, including providing local school children with supplies and, since early 1998, providing food and clothing for needy in the Fort Smith area in participation with the West-Ark Church of Christ Inner City Ministry.
