We are wrapping up the Gulfhaven/MDS clean up phase and handing the baton to Ted and Elinor Shattuck to continue hurricane clean up. Ted and Elinor are MDS (Mennonite Disaster Service) directors now in the area and they are organizing a MDS/Gulfport clean up phase that will continue at another site in the area. During our eighth week of Gulfhaven/MDS clean up folks are at Gulfhaven from West Virginia and Arizona. We have volunteer work crews scheduled for Gulfhaven/MDS clean up through the third week in November who will wrap up this clean up phase. Next? Gulfhaven Repair/Rebuild Phase II.

On the eighth week, houses are stiil exposed.		Also on the eighth week a wet home like this needs gutting.

Milford after a long project.		Everything broken gets dragged to the side of the road.

The eighth week and trees still need cleaning up everywhere.		Lindbergh's barn got a lot of damage.

Carolyn, Milford, and Joan drag trash to the road.		More clean up piles.

This roof needed more tarping.		We're hoping permanent fixes can begin to happen soon for members of Gulfhaven.

Milford and Stan secure a tarp.		More big piles.

Going the extra mile and raking up a yard.		Wow, looking good.

Trees down in Gulfport.		Joan works hard on this back yard.
