Up in Moorhead on Saturday
April 23, 2009 – The Salvation Army is gearing up to feed volunteers in Moorhead on Saturday to help residents remove up to a million sandbags. Unfortunately the outlook for a swell of volunteers is bleak. Help is needed.
Calling all Metro Area volunteers willing to take a Saturday to help a flood weary community! Looking for hundreds of volunteers to help residents remove sandbags from their property. Must be able to lift 25 pounds continually and not be afraid to get muddy. Bring work gloves and rubber gloves. It is recommended to have an updated tetanus shot.
The effort will go on rain or shine from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 25. Food for volunteers will be provided, but housing will be left up to the volunteers to arrange.
Registration is NOT required but anyone with questions can call First Link at 701-476-4000.
