We’ll need many, many volunteers for each set of dates. We’ll need volunteers during the day and evening. We’ll need folks who speak Spanish throughout the time for general communication and making travel arrangements. We’ll need two volunteers spend the night, one of them a Spanish speaker.
Teams will include:

We need volunteers ahead of these dates to sort through donated clothing and supplies. Please let us know if you can serve in this way.

Condolences
to the family and friends of longtime ministry partner David Roehr. David died a few months ago in Watertown, SD after almost a decade-long battle with pancreatic cancer. David spent most of his time in Watertown during this time to care for his father who preceded David in death by a just a short time. Condolences may be sent to Stella Cain at David’s Tempe address
