West Ridge continues to be a wonderful host. They are now starting to line up some of the evening meals, and have a man helping every day with assessments. The line at the distribution tent is constant from opening to close. We continue to gain work every day. The feeling is that by the weekend new work orders should start to subside.

Work orders continue to pour in as our teams and especially our team leaders go out to meet the needs of the victims. It is a challenge assigning teams as the local volunteers start arriving around 7 am and continue to trickle in till 4 pm in the afternoon. We found only a few homes with flood insurance and even those had only structural coverage. Our relationship with West Ridge Church continues to be excellent.

West Ridge continues to be a wonderful host. They are now starting to line up some of the evening meals, and have a man helping every day with assessments.
