Did you hear about the flood on January 23rd that wreaked havoc on Volmer Bowl??
Unfortunately the water and debris came over the hill and flooded the lower level of our community Education Center that also housed our out-patient mental health clinic, Brighter Futures. Not only did it displace our clinic staff and clients, it also displaced our elementary and junior high classrooms. Our library and curriculum rooms were also majorly affected.
As an organization, we worked together to clean up, clear out and figure out how to continue to provide services to the children and families we serve. If you tried calling that week chances are you may have gone to voicemail as we were supporting our teams in the aftermath of this incident. We teach the youth we serve about resilience and this was our opportunity to show them!
These are just a few of the pictures from that week following the flood! Yes, we tried to smile and laugh between the heavy sighs and tears. We are so thankful for the staff and volunteers that stepped up to help!!
