Although it started out very soggy, we had a very successful work day assisting residents of Van, TX as they clean up after the town was hit by an EF 3 tornado.
We began working in a steady rain, after about two hours the rain quit and the sun even peek through the clouds a couple of times.
52 members of North Texas area LCMS Congregations turned out despite the weather to assist members. Some members used chain saws to remove the remains of trees destroyed by the storm. Some members moved debris from residents yards to the curb to be removed by the city. Some members help residents remove sheetrock, carpet and insulation from their homes. Others help residents remove furniture from their homes. One of our members even assisted in the Volunteer Center.
The Holy Cow Smokers from Lamb of God in Flower Mound, TX. provide lunch for all the volunteers as well as residents in the tornado-stricken area. They served a total of 140 meals.
