So many of you have offered your help, resources and services that we are overwhelmed with your kindness. The tireless work by volunteers to help the victims of the storm is amazing, but there is plenty more to do.
Our major clean up day was March 22. There are still smaller jobs that could use volunteers to complete. If your organization would like to help with the clean up, please contact maryhuysman@gmail.com. We could particularly use those with experience with chainsaws and carpentry skills.
