Current Activities Our staff and volunteers continue to thrive in the open arms of the community in Vidor, TX. Though many homeowners were significantly affected by Tropical Storm Imelda, their resilience shines through in efforts to mobilize resources quickly to alleviate the impact of flooding. In partnership with the Turning Point Church, we have touched the lives of 99 individuals across Orange, Jefferson, and Chambers Counties. We expect these efforts to continue through the month of November, as we are still reaching families that require assistance. As we connect with partners across the local long-term recovery community, it is clear that the additional caseload from Imelda is overwhelming, especially in areas that are are still grappling with the impact of Hurricane Harvey. For both storms, the effort is far from over.

So do what you can. Pastor George Gau
