<![endif]--><!--StartFragment--><strong>#HarveyUpdate - September 11</strong></h2><p>A Warehouse has finally been secured in San Antonio, Texas by the collaborative efforts of FEMA, the State, and ACS.&nbsp;We will begin utilizing many of the volunteers who have been on standby to serve in the Warehouse. On Friday evening, students from Southwestern University spent hours at the ACS Depot in Keene preparing hundreds of Flood Buckets which were donated by a volunteer who had contacted us to ask if we could use them for the people in Texas. More volunteers arrived early Sabbath morning wanting to deliver needed items to communities in Houston. They included Brain Browder, Alan and Keith Raber who traveled over ten hours to serve the needs of the Harvey survivors.&nbsp;Few hours later, they were able to deliver flood buckets to three churches that are operating Distribution sites in the greater Houston area.&nbsp;</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block gallery-block sqs-block-gallery" data-block-json="&#123;&quot;existingGallery&quot;:null,&quot;hSize&quot;:null,&quot;show-meta-only-title&quot;:false,&quot;newWindow&quot;:false,&quot;floatDir&quot;:null,&quot;methodOption&quot;:&quot;transient&quot;,&quot;design&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;aspectRatio&quot;:null,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false,&quot;controls&quot;:true,&quot;auto-crop&quot;:false,&quot;square-thumbs&quot;:true,&quot;aspect-ratio&quot;:&quot;standard&quot;,&quot;thumbnails&quot;:true,&quot;thumbnail-strip-height&quot;:80,&quot;thumbnail-strip-margin&quot;:20,&quot;show-meta&quot;:false,&quot;thumbnails-per-row&quot;:2,&quot;padding&quot;:16,&quot;lightbox&quot;:false,&quot;collectionId&quot;:&quot;59b6a0b2cd0f685d6d4b1bde&quot;,&quot;vSize&quot;:null,&quot;transientGalleryId&quot;:&quot;59b6a0b2cd0f685d6d4b1bde&quot;&#125;" data-block-type="8" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1505135955513_77655"><div class="sqs-block-content">

<![endif]--><!--StartFragment-->Adventist Community Services (ACS) has been asked by a number of emergency managers to deliver some of the products we have been preparing and stocking in semi-trailers from the ACS Depot in Keene, Texas. On the morning of August 28, a truck left for San Antonio to deliver clothes, hygiene kits and other needed items. Many of the residents housed in the San Antonio shelter were evacuated from Houston, where dirty flood waters forced them out of their homes. Shelter management requires those residing there to shower and have a clean change of clothing before they can enter the shelter. The ACS trailer arrived later in the afternoon to begin distribution of clothes in all sizes for the thousands that had need.&nbsp;</p><p>The work also continues in the city of Houston. ACS has been asked to manage a warehouse for the city.</p><p>Emotional and spiritual care providers will be ready in the next couple days to deploy to the flood-ravaged area for two weeks. These individuals will be assigned to work out of shelters that have been set up around the state.</p><p>ACS is forming a resource and needs listing that will be used over the next few days to determine how to support the local efforts. ACS recognizes that the efforts to support individuals, families and children will be long term, and we’re preparing for the long run.</p></div></div><div class="sqs-block horizontalrule-block sqs-block-horizontalrule" data-block-type="47" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1505140991101_48505"><div class="sqs-block-content"><hr /></div></div><div class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2" id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1505140991101_48567"><div class="sqs-block-content"><p><!--EndFragment--></p><p><strong>Update - August 29</strong></p><p>We greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the survivors of Hurricane Harvey.
