Volunteers Needed for Flood Recovery in Hunt
Our member Jacob Forester with Integrity Lot and Grounds has been working closely with Reach Global, the long-term disaster relief volunteer organization coordinating operations in Hunt Texas. They are looking for individuals or groups to help with the immediate task of debris sorting and removal. Manpower is needed for clearing affected properties, such as picking items up by hand or with shovels/rakes, as well as people who are experienced with a chainsaw. Additionally, there is a need for equipment such as skid steers and excavators. Volunteers should be aware that the working environment is physically demanding, involving uneven terrain and hot, humid conditions.
Reach Global is also looking to create a database of skilled trades volunteers for the upcoming rebuild process. Their short-term plan is to create temporary housing using damaged homes/cabins for out-of-town volunteer groups to stay closer to the work sites. Long term, they will oversee the entire process from clean-up to complete restoration of these properties, at no cost to the owners.
If your company/church/friends would like to give back to a community in need, please text Jacob at 210-313-0380 (phone service is spotty so calls don’t always get through). This will be an ongoing process for the foreseeable future; if you cannot help immediately, please consider it in the months to come.
Upcoming 2025 schedule to be announced.
