January’s devastating wildfires in Southern California prompted a massive response from recovery and disaster relief agencies, including Southern Baptist Disaster Relief.
SBTC Disaster Relief, the disaster arm of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, answered the call, sending feeding and chaplaincy volunteers to Los Angeles County at the request of California Baptist DR.
And they may go back.
“Today our bunkhouses [dormitory trailers] are at alert status to support volunteers in LA County sifting through the ashes to help survivors recover personal property,” said Scottie Stice, SBTC Disaster Relief director. SBTC Disaster Relief recovery teams are also on alert for potential travel to LA, Stice said.
