LDS Church sending aid to hurricane victims
Relief supplies being sent to hard-hit areas such as Port Charlotte and Pine Island include food items, hygiene kits with basic necessities and additional bedding.
The National Red Cross is coordinating efforts to "re-establish family patterns and instill hope in the community," said program specialist for LDS Family Services, Doug LeCheminant in a press release.
Seven LDS Family Services practitioners from Salt Lake City arrived in Florida Friday. LeCheminant said the counselors will pay special attention to the conditions of children and relief workers. It is not unfamiliar practice for these counselors as they have responded to various humanitarian needs worldwide.
This additional church aid follows two semi-trucks loaded with emergency supplies such as water, tents, bedding, tools and roofing materials that have already arrived.
All volunteers will bring their own tools, water, food and camping supplies to fend for themselves during the cleanup efforts.
