URGENT: RESERVISTS, YOU ARE NEEDED!! Kentucky Tornados Reservist Deployment Alert

December 12, 2021

 

Dear HFI Reservist,

Friday night, December 10th long track tornados tore through numerous states causing wide-spread damage.  Western Kentucky specifically had a tornado causing catastrophic damage through many cities and communities.  Over 70 casualties have been reported in Kentucky alone, and this number may rise.

Our Hope Force assessment team was on the ground Saturday morning just after these devastating tornados tore through the state.  Our team visited several of the cities and towns impacted by the tornados.  People are reeling and overwhelmed with the damage to property and the incredible loss of life.

We are deploying in the Bowling Green area, and we need you. Our primary focus will be roof tarping, but there will also be groundwork needed, helping homeowners sort through the rubble, and cleaning up debris!

If you are able to respond to this call for help, please contact Connie Hasty at deployment@hopeforce.org.   Of course, we’d love to have you for the entire week, but we can accommodate you...even if only for a few days.

What You Need to Know:

  • Housing: Plan to sleep on the floor – bring mats/cots & sleeping gear
  • Meals: Provided by Hope Force

What you need to do now:

  • Conduct a self-assessment: "Is this a good time for me to consider deploying?"
  • Pray about participating
  • If you may be available, REPLY HERE  to this with the following:

  • Complete any unfinished paperwork immediately, including a background check, if you have not already done so with Hope Force. (Details to follow, after you notify us of your interest to go.)

If you cannot go at this time, please consider giving to the response – and please pray for these efforts!
