2. Rebuilding and Cleanup Crews are needed through the Spring and Summer. Would your congregation like to sponsor a crew? Do you have skilled crew leaders in your church?
3. To help families we have started a Pantry Starter Project. Download PDF Pantry Starter Information
4. To support the work of the Rebuilding and Cleanup Crews we have purchased a Tool Trailer. We now need to fill it with tools. Download PDF Tool Trailer Information
