Mennonite Disaster Service recruits, organizes, equips and empowers volunteers to repair and rebuild homes of those impacted by disasters in the US and Canada
@matt_vanswol Matt, a clarification on the Amish crews... n cooperation with WV VOAD, over 150 bridges were built in West Virginia, not Western NC.
To date, MDS has built one new bridge Iron Station, NC.
Several culverts and temporary water crossing have been repaired, new bridges to come.
The first @MDS_Respond Disaster Service Early Response Teams were scheduled to arrive in eastern Kentucky on Aug. 15, ready to muck out homes and clear debris in flood-ravaged communities.
