Muslims, Methodists Join in Hurricane Recovery Effort

Muslim and Methodist volunteers are teaming up to help a town hard-hit by Hurricane Matthew.

Islamic Relief USA and the N.C. Conference of the United Methodist Church will send volunteers to rebuild homes in Princeville, a town still recovering from extensive flooding in the aftermath of the hurricane last October.

Islamic Relief USA, a national humanitarian organization, will bring Muslim volunteers from across the country on five trips to Princeville starting this month, said Hani Hamwi, who manages the organization's disaster response team.
