Labor (of love) Day

Yea, that’s pretty cheesy. Sorry about that, but I can’t think of anything cooler.

The tide has definitely shifted in Bucyrus since last weekend. We’ve gone from seeking work from residents to receiving repeated calls for immediate assistance. We have a large backlog of jobs (hundreds) and only 20 volunteers working in homes Saturday. Tuesday morning we had 4 calls backlogged. By evening it was up to 48. Wednesday evening, we had 250. What changed? Mold grew. Additionally, people are coming out of the shock of what happened to them and how desperate their situations really are.

Monday is Labor Day. Please consider bringing your family, friends, church members, coworkers, and others to help recover from this disaster that has hit all too close to home.

The volunteer center is at 1305 Mansfield Street, Bucyrus, Ohio 44280. The phone number there is 419-562-3777.

Call to let us know you are coming and how many are in you group and show up there to sign in and get work assignments.

Servants Unite!
