Disaster Assistance Galveston 2 week update

We have been here in Galveston, TX for two weeks. In that time we have served 10,204 meals. I have cooked all of those using only 8 rosters and all meals have been cooked and served outside while fighting off these huge Texas flies. Most everyone of the locals tell us each day that the meals that they are getting from us is the only food they are getting and without them they have no idea how they would have made it. I met with leaders from Lake Jackson and El Campo on Friday to review how much longer we will be able to continue serving these meals. The funds are running low. We feel we should be able to continue until the end of the month. At that time we will review again and see if we have the funds to continue if needed. I am sure it will be needed. I know a lot of you have helped us with donations. Lake Jackson, El Campo and Goodwood Church of Christ have been the main source of funds. If you have been waiting to help in some way now is the time before we are forced to leave due to lack of money. Volunteers are also needed.
