Today was an eventful day. Our ERV was selected as one to do a collaborative
effort of feeding with the Salvation Army from Santa Rosa, CA. We leaded our
vehicle with 400 meals of pulled beef sandwiches, green beans, snacks, water
and Gatorade. We met at the Salvation Army location in Santa Rosa and went
as a convoy to a place called Coffey Park, one of the hardest hit places,
with about 1,300 homes that burned. We fed about 375 of those meals, and
about 600+ snack items too.
Just today, the police are just letting residents back into the area a sift
through their remains. They wanted to make sure it was safe from gas and
electrical lines, and also to recover the bodies of those that burned with
their houses.
Tomorrow (21st) will be a repeat, and after that, I am not sure. Once a
resident confirms their house is 100% with their insurance agent, there is
no real reason to go back until the rebuilding process starts with
contractors.
More tomorrow.
