We will be planning a second trip back down the following Friday (Oct. 18th, 2024) with anymore collected supplies and plan to stay to assist in the recovery efforts for as many days as we can. If you would like to be involved with the volunteer efforts please reach out the Justin Cecil @ 231-409-4192 Ext. 5 to coordinate rides & Sleeping arrangements. (We will be sleeping in our vehicles or enclosed trailer as to not hinder the relief efforts for local families in need of housing. Sleeping bags, pillows, & cots would be good to have on hand if you plan to assist with clean up efforts.
