Post Michael: Millville Visit October 16th
Through our connection with local management officials, we were directed to the house of Ms. Deborah and her grandson. Her ceiling had caved in on top of her living room couch and TV. We were able to provide them with some water and a tarp to protect her furniture, as her grandson was able to get a tarp on her roof. Then we started to walk the neighborhood, and we were so glad to have a strong fleet of female volunteers to help us connect! We handed out many feminine hygiene products, cold water, ice, diapers, and we received so many smiles and appreciation.


Afterwards, we went to Rutherford High School and met up with Mr. Keaton who we had assisted the previous day with a tarp. He asked how he could assist us, and we handed him 15 tarps to distribute throughout the neighborhood. We then moved down the streets to hand out more supplies. It took us 2 hours to travel 3 blocks. People approached us with tears in their eyes they were so appreciative.
One family we met was a grandmother, her daughter and her two kids. They had a neighbor try to help them tarp up their roof, but he had fallen off. We gave them some ice and proceeded to get to work to complete the tarp job. We were able to complete the job and snagged some photos of the grandchild Carlos. His smile was infectious😊
At the end of the day, we dropped off all our remaining supplies at Kingdom Agenda and we look forward to the next day’s work.
