There are a lot of people just wandering around, going through their personal items and making decisions about what to do next, like where they are going to stay.

We're already meeting with families utilizing our shelter (in West Jackson Baptist Church) and in the immediate area, getting the preliminary casework needed and pairing their needs to the proper agencies, and we'll be doing that throughout the 11 counties we serve. We'll be in Brownsville Monday, where there are 100 refugees in various locations, and in Selmer Tuesday, where there are 40 more.

Members have made quilted items and donated them for sale.

Music is the fourth great material want, first food, then clothes, then shelter, then music.

They don't want for food, clothes or shoes.
