The Flood Recovery Office is in need of donations such as:

• COOKIES for team members (375 volunteers were here last week)
• Paint brushes / roller pads
• Screw bits
• Pencils
• Frozen meals for teams of 20 that come in late at night
• Cleaning of the shower trailers
• Funding for materials
• Primer paint
• Drywall tape (paper and mesh)
• Prayer - for the safety of the teams as they handle power equipment, mold issues, heat, weather problems, travel, and grumpiness
• Homeowners to have hope. Many people are depressed, many are hurting, many need Jesus.
• Creativity in solving delays and difficult situations
• Loving spirits
