NEW YORK FLOOD
Mark and I are here in Endwell, NY. assessing the damage from the recent flood and helping the Endwell church get their relief effort up and running.
There is a great need for volunteers in this area. Help is needed to "muck out" the houses and to just be there for some of these people. It is overwhelming to them when they go into their house and EVERYTHING is covered in "muck". The sooner everything is able to be removed from the houses the better chance they have of keeping the mold down.
Volunteers will be housed here at the church building and served continental breakfast as well as evening meals.
FEMA is setting up an office today just down the street from the church building, so I will be going down there and talking with them today,
The following is what is needed:
VOLUNTEERS
CLEANING SUPPLIES
POWER WASHERS
FINANCIAL DONATIONS
There are a couple families from the church here that have lost everything. We are getting financial assistance together for them. If you are willing to help with this please mail donations to:
Somerset Church of Christ
Churches of Christ Disaster Response Team
P.O. Box 247
Somerset, Ohio 43783
Please earmark it "Endwell church families."
You may also donate through the website: www.churchesofchristdrt.org

NORTHEAST FLOODS
Several of you have asked about the northeast flooding.........
Mark and I were on our way back to Mobile, Alabama today when I received an email from the Endwell Church of Christ in Endwell, NY requesting the assistance of the Disaster Response Team. We had driven about 7 hours from Ohio towards Mobile......No Problem.......we just turned around and headed right back (after making phone calls to make sure we had enough coordinators and volunteer help in Mobile) We are on our way back to Ohio as I write this. We will transfer our things into the Motorhome and hook up our tow vehicle, we'll get a few hours sleep and be on our way to Endwell, NY.....You know what they say.....All's well that End(s)well :)
From what I understand, the homes in this area have approx. 2' of mud in them. Furniture needs removed and the muck shoveled out. Volunteers are desperately needed!!! Please contact us for further information. markcremeans@churchesofchristdrt.org or call my cell phone at 937-308-2259.
ALABAMA, MISSISSIPPI, LOUISIANNA
We still have coordinators in the gulf coast area. Much skilled help is still needed there. We are still working on drywall and painting.
