We have had a steady stream from the community coming to pick up supplies.
The stories you hear are so sad. One of the families told of having their house flooded then a few days later it caught on fire. Many of these families have no flood insurance. They did not live in a zoned flood plain and were told they did not need it. Now they find themselves with either no house to live in or one that is quickly becoming filled with mold. Walls and flooring need tore out, basements, crawl spaces and living areas need bleached to stop the mold.....vehicles, furniture, appliances have been ruined by the flood.
You have been so generous in the past and I know once again you're asking............
What can I do to help?!?!?!
Your help is needed through financial donations and volunteering.
Volunteers are needed to help with distribution, answering phones, assessment, bleaching houses, helping with clean up and debris removal and when houses are dried out, rebuilding.
The financial donations help to purchase building material, houseshold supplies, furniture, etc. for those without insurance.
