Hurricane Relief
East Coast - Hurricane Irene Recovery
September 20, 2011
Hurricane Irene moved up the east coast of the US in late August, bringing prolonged torrential rains and disastrous flooding to
hundreds of communities. On August 27, SI's Rapid Response team headed east with four trucks and trailers and stopped at Morning Star
Fellowship in Pennsylvania. The team helped several residents who lived along the banks of a flooded creek and they cut up downed
trees on nearby streets.
On September 2, SI's Rapid Response team began work in the Somerset, New Jersey area, helping the people at
Zarephath Christian Church and Somerset Christian College.
Seven houses on the college campus were flooded along with more than a dozen other buildings (chapels, gym, library, Administration Building, storage
buildings, garages, kitchen, etc.) when local rivers rose to 14 feet above flood stage.
When the waters began to recede, SI brought heavy equipment and teamed up with local volunteers to begin cleaning up debris, cutting fallen trees, and pressure washing
and disinfecting the interiors of buildings and homes.
All total, volunteers working with SI invested 1,000 man hours in cleaning up seven homes, one business and four school buildings, and cutting up trees on five properties.
Thank you to all the hardworking staff and volunteers and to everyone who gave our teams food and shelter along the way. God bless you!

Last year, Service International received a very special birthday gift. It wasn't for SI's birthday—it was a birthday present for ten-year-old twins Evan and Tate Jenkins, and they wanted to share it with SI.
For the past few years the two brothers have invited their birthday party guests to contribute to charities. When guests arrive at the party, they can donate to two organizations which the boys have selected.
In 2011, Evan and Tate chose Service International as a recipient.
"We live in Sunset Hills, and the January 2011 tornado missed our house by less than half a mile," said the boys' mother, Julie Jenkins. "Evan and Tate wanted to give to SI because they knew about SI's recent disaster relief work in their neighborhood."
The boys raised $445 for Service International, and now it looks like Evan and Tate have started a trend. They've recently received party invitations from friends who are doing the same thing.
We are grateful for the support and encouragement of friends like the Jenkins family and for everyone who gives time and finances to help Service International carry out our mission to Honor God and Help People. Thanks, Evan and Tate! Happy Birthday
from all of us at Service International!
