NEWS FROM THE NEJ: TEAMS NEEDED IN NORTHCENTRAL JURISDICTION (NEJ) FOR FLOOD RECOVERY
TEAMS NEEDED IN THE NORTHWEST DISTRICT
FROM: Catie and John Newman, NW Dist. Disaster Response Coords. 712-899-4067 or 712-874-3247
We are ready for teams who wish to help with flood and flood related clean-up. The water is going down, slowly but surely..... what is left is a slimy, sticky, smelly, dirty mess. The debris piles are overwhelming. At this time in the Northwest District we need teams (one day or longer) who are able to help with sand bag removal and tree cutting and removal. This work will be in and around the greater Sioux City, Iowa area. As we get into the areas where waters have receded we need first to remove the fallen trees (and there are many, many of them), debris that has accumulated and to get rid of the sandbags. This will be heavy, strenuous work. Please bring gloves and protective clothing and a pick-up truck or low trailer.
In the weeks to come we will be needing teams to help clean-out basements and help with the first steps toward drying-out. Set your dates for after September 10, 2011. Housing is available in the traditional UMVIM style (church floors). Meals and showers will be available.Contact Pastor Catie or John Newman to schedule your team, (Please, teams only at this time) 712-874-3247 or 712-899-4067 or johnstruckfarm@wiatel.net
