Hey HopeATL Crew!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is a brand new day and hurting people need your help! We missed a day of work today because of the heavy rains and need YOU and everyone you know to help people get their lives back on track!
Red Cross is no longer serving meals in the neighborhoods we’re serving. The last shelter for flood victims in the entire city closes on Wednesday. The city and state government has asked that all demolition and clean up activities END before October 18th. This means we just have just 11 days left to clean HUNDREDS of homes so that we can move to PHASE 2 of HopeATL – helping families rebuild their homes.
As you saw on the video @ HopeATL.com, we often have to tear homes down completely to the studs, but the government wants us to get all of that done in 11 days so we can all begin the rebuilding process together.
Here is our schedule every day through this Saturday!
- We will be setting up check-in tents every from tomorrow (Tuesday) through this Saturday, October the 10th on the front lawn of Ewing Road Baptist Church (4699 Ewing Rd Austell, GA 30106) @ 10:00am. This will be our central information hub. Even if you are an old pro, please come here and check in before getting to work. It will take our efficiency to another level, OK? Mr. Chance Craven (a fellow volunteer) is our On-Site Director and can be reached @ 904.735.0376 if you have any questions.
- If you happen to have any tools (hammers, crowbars, saws…anything…load them up and bring them with you.) If you don’t have any tools, just plan on working twice as hard to make up for it :-)
-
Although it may be warm, we need you to wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants with shoes you don’t mind ruining. We have a variety of work that is needed that can cater to any challenges or limitations you may have. It would also be wise for you to bring your own lunch, snacks, and some water, OK?
- We need more volunteers! Tell everyone you know about hopeATL & encourage them to make a difference!
Our team will be calling you if they haven’t already and will answer your questions. Email me directly by replying to this message or call 404.503.8392 if you have any questions and I will point you in the right direction. Please don’t talk yourself out of serving. People need you.
Also – if you have not yet made a donation, please consider doing so soon @ hopeATL.com – 100% of your donation goes directly to help flood victims get back on their feet. Thanks again!
Be Courageous!
