The VOAD concept works in Virginia
Mike Studebaker
I received this report of Southern Baptist work in Virginia and just had to pass it on… Here is an example for us to live up!
Suffolk Virginia Tornado Response
May 1, Day 3: Yesterday, six recovery jobs were completed, and a total of 301 assessments have been conducted, with the following results: Affected-39; Minor-126; Major-112; Destroyed-34. Only one chainsaw team is working today, due to areas still being restricted. All areas should be open tomorrow. In a meeting with volunteer organizations, it was determined that Operation Blessing will conduct debris removal, Samaritan's Purse will install blue roofing, and SBCV will be assigned all chainsaw jobs. The coordination is being done by the United Way, with Operation Blessing responsible for all volunteer assignments. All areas will be opened for work beginning Friday, May 2, and a large number of additional jobs from United Way is expected. Five additional chainsaw units have been activated for arrival Friday and Saturday. Also activated are one feeding unit to be used for volunteer meals, one shower unit, and one bunk house for overflow housing.
