Hello,
The weather outside is frightful – or at least the predictions for rain are. While today should be mostly sunny, it looks like the monsoons will be returning later this week and sticking around throughout the weekend.
That’s why we are working with the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County to arrange multiple volunteer opportunities to help fill sandbags this week. Each day there are two shifts – from 8 am to Noon and then from 1 to 5 pm. Please note, however, that you don’t have to work all four hours of a shift; any amount of time you can help will be appreciated.
Hundreds of you have already given your time and we are very grateful. But sandbags are like toilet paper during the first months of Covid; they are going like hotcakes and the demand is sky high.
Seriously, many of our friends and neighbors have had a tough summer, with flood waters rushing down their streets and threatening their homes. Your assistance will ensure that they have a line of protection during the anticipated storms.
