Ironhold Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Deseret News article I remember that the media didn't quite want to talk about it back then, but the bishop's storehouse down in New Orleans played a pivotal role during the early hours of the response to the flooding in New Orleans. My dad was one of the people called in to assist in the relief efforts (as a retired Army mechanic, he knew how to service the older military surplus equipment that the civilian relief organizations were using), and so he saw some of this first-hand. One LDS chapel, he noted, was in such good condition that it was almost immediately turned into a shelter; aside from some broken windows and the carpet being ruined, it held up well enough to serve.

Palerider Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 One of former missionary companions drives a truck for LDS Distribution and told me about some of the loads of supplies he delivered to the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
