When the process of signing up to come help in the area began, it did not take long for sister congregations to fill a long list of volunteers coming for the summer. After a flurry of responses, we decided that it was reasonable to work throughout the summer and shut down relief efforts on August 1.
Half way home, some 22 conjurations represented by about 340 adults and young people have stayed with us and worked out from "The Slab" - the affectionate title Central's site is now called by everyone. At present, we are still expecting 13-15 more groups to visit our area and add to the mountain of work that has already been accomplished since the April 27th storm.
Working in crews of about 15-20, they remove trees and debris for people...using bobcat,chainsaws and "drag power" at all the sites. Without a doubt, volunteers who have braved the Alabama heat have been awesome...and numerous folks have been helped. Thanks for what you've done, what you're doing, and plan to do!
