NEW YORK FLOOD

Mark and I are here in Endwell, NY. assessing the damage from the recent flood and helping the Endwell church get their relief effort up and running.

There is a great need for volunteers in this area. Help is needed to "muck out" the houses and to just be there for some of these people. It is overwhelming to them when they go into their house and EVERYTHING is covered in "muck". The sooner everything is able to be removed from the houses the better chance they have of keeping the mold down.

Volunteers will be housed here at the church building and served continental breakfast as well as evening meals.

FEMA is setting up an office today just down the street from the church building, so I will be going down there and talking with them today,

The following is what is needed:

VOLUNTEERS
CLEANING SUPPLIES
POWER WASHERS
FINANCIAL DONATIONS

There are a couple families from the church here that have lost everything. We are getting financial assistance together for them. If you are willing to help with this please mail donations to:
Somerset Church of Christ
Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team
P.O. Box 247
Somerset, Ohio 43783

Please earmark it "Endwell church families."
You may also donate through the website: www.churchesofchristdrt.org
