Following the recent ice storm we stayed very busy assisting those in need after losing power to their homes. We opened two seperate shelters during the span of Friday to Monday serving 6 people with a warm place to sleep and to enjoy meals and snacks. We also responded to 6 seperate local disasters, primarily residential fires. Through these incidents we provided 18 local residents with their immediate needs including food, clothing and shelter totaling over $2,600 combined.
I thank everyone who assisted in this endeavor. It was very taxing on our local resources but thanks to the support we received we were able to successfully meet all needs.
As we continue to move through the winter season we encourage everyone to practice fire safety in their home. Also take a moment to check your smoke detectors and practice a family disaster plan.
