First United Methodist Church is deploying flocks of pink flamingoes to help raise disaster relief funds to aid those impacted by Hurricane Dorian. “We hope this will go community-wide not just church-wide,” organizer Cyndy Roberts said.

You can have a flock arrayed in a friend or relative’s yard for a donation of $10. They can pay $10 to have the flock removed and another $10 to find out who ‘flocked’ them. A donation of $30 will provide you and your yard with flock insurance to help you avoid the tackiness.

Donors are also encouraged to feed the flock with any donation and 100% of the money will go to the disaster relief fund. For more information, call the church office at 770-358-1494.
