There is also a workable Wal-Mart nearby so Wal-Mart gift cards and cash donations are also accepted.

Gift cards are becoming an easier gift to give. Of course, nobody ever returned cash, either.

Wal-Mart is in a real bind. Its way of doing business hasn't been accepted here.

They have opened up the parsonage as sort of a staging area where they give food and supplies to the many workers who have come.

They had a large hole in the roof of their church and a lot of water damage. Their Bibles, hymnals and carpeting are all ruined. But 14 families from their congregation have lost everything.

They do have electricity and are providing meals and showers for workers. They have had workers from Missouri, Texas, Florida and Ohio. Paper plates are a huge item right now. All water has to be boiled, and if you are feeding 50 to 60 people a meal that's a lot of dishes to wash.
