Volunteer: Responding to Hail DamageA storm traveled from the west toward Wallowa on Aug. 11, with some hail reported as large as golf balls and even baseballs in certain areas of Wallowa County and winds up to 50 mph, according to media accounts. While many community organizations have banded together, the northeast Oregon community of around 800 people does not have the financial resources to support repairs and recovery, Governor Brown said in a news release. The city of Wallowa is a small, remote rural community with many low-income community members that live on fixed incomes, and many are either uninsured or underinsured. The BMLTRG is seeking individual volunteers and team volunteers to fill roles that vary from meeting with survivors to documenting needs to hands-on roofing, siding, window installation, to installing insulation. We are seeking teenagers (with appropriate supervision) to individuals skilled in the trades. By responding to this general post we will contact you to see what the best fits are. As specific needs are identified over the next week we will be posting specific volunteer days and times for individuals but we can customize group team dates. Thank you in advance!
