Saturday
We are targeting Saturday, Oct. 25th, as our biggest day of Ike assistance yet.
The goal is to have 1000 volunteers from area churches to be sent out from Base Camp on that day.
We will be concentrating our efforts in Shoreacres a small city located between Highway 146 and Galveston Bay. It is not an island, but has bay waters on three sides of the city. Of the 650 homes in Shoreacres, 575 had rising water and/or severe damage to their homes. On Saturday we want to clean up what FEMA did not pick up and begin to restore the normal clean looking yards/streets to Shoreacres. We will literally go block by block to help clean up what was left behind. This is a great opportunity to make a major difference to the feel of a community.
