Well, my very first relief initiative has come off without any real hitches. We left on-time, (within 10 min) arrived on-time, delivered the donations of approximately 25 people, and then worked from 1100-1645 to get the rubble of a burned high-school cleared to the side of the road for the county to clean up.
Evidently, for every volunteer that shows up to help, the county gets paid by FEMA to clear the rubble. Once the volunteers dry up, the county will no longer be able to help clear the properties, and that will be that. I know that there is a lot more work to be done, and not nearly enough people to do it, so I pray that God will intervene for these people and make a way forward for them in the coming months that will help them to reclaim their lands and homes.
