It’s been a little over 3 weeks since Helene blasted through wreaking havoc in four states. CBF FL landed in Steinhatchee, Florida to start our disaster response.
Steinhatchee is a remote, out of the way community. The damage to this area is horrific.
We are working with a small community church, Friendship Chapel Church of God as a base of operations. Pastor Davey Cannon has opened his doors for us to bring in much needed supplies of non perishable foods, clothing, water, gas, hygiene products, pillows, sheets, blankets, tarps……the list goes on and nothing sits on the shelves for long. This community is reeling and it’s so cool to see the community working together. They are not waiting on help, they are the help.
We have cut countless trees and removed tons of debris. To date we’ve been to the area 6 times since Helene made landfall in the big bend area.
Please keep us in your prayers as we move one step at a time.
Thank you for your generous donations. We know there are so many people in need right now as a result of these storms, and we know we cannot help them all. But we found one off-the-beaten-path little town with few resources and a big heart, for our relief efforts. Please prayerfully consider continuing to support this one community. We are just getting started.
