EAST TEXAS NEEDS YOU!

You know the saying, 'Can't see the forest through the trees!' Well, we need to start seeing the houses through the trees. Teams are needed to clear trees from roads and driveways, stack logs and prepare the area so residents can get in and out of their neighborhoods. This will allow the electricity to be restored and Insurance adjustors to begin their jobs. Please call the Disaster Response Center if you would like to Volunteer! The numbers are 713-533-3713 or 877-774-2700.
