Communities around Indiana are looking back as just one year ago, record flooding brought damage and disaster to nearly every county in the state. In fact, 86 of the 92 Indiana counties were under a federal disaster declaration after the damaging weather from summer 2008. So just how has the recovery work progressed. Eighteen long-term recovery programs were formed in the aftermath of the storms. These community groups are helping the more than 35,000 home owners and business owners affected by the flood waters. |

Teens from the two churches that traveled with HCRN to New York City over spring break, held a reunion night recently. The group was able to share some of their best memories and also talk about the impact of the trip on their lives.
One teen, Tara, shared that God has really compelled her to focus on mission work as her career path. She said that she wants to spend her time doing the type of work that she did while in New York. How awesome is that!
Other team members talked about the day they worked outside in the rain and bagged leaves, raked the yard and really worked on the physical appearance of the church. The students worked very hard and the lawn and property really showed it.

Plenty of families need your help. Summer projects are in need of volunteers in Indiana and across the country. HCRN is working with community leaders across Indiana and the U.S. and we have found that the number of volunteers has dipped so far this year, likely due in part to the sluggish economy. But many opportunities are still available for you. We've found a few low-cost sites that need your help. Thousands of Indiana residents were flooded out of their homes last summer and 18 local community groups are working around the state to help families who need help repairing and rebuilding their homes. Two of the larger groups even have housing available for volunteers. |
