Water, Bottles, (In Plastic, Gallons) needed by Common Ground Relief Center

Water Urgently Needed
Submitted by james on Wed, 2006-07-26 00:42.
On average Common Ground Relief has from 200 to 250 volunteers gutting houses and working in various areas daily. We also have about 300 families coming to our distribution centers each day as well. At the pace that we are and should be using water we would need approximately 60,000 bottles of water per month for our volunteers and 90,000 bottles to be passed out through distribution.

Unfortunately, we don’t have such a supply and we have had to limit distribution to families and volunteers. With both residents and volunteers suiting up in protective gear; they are essentially cooking themselves while they work inside moldy houses with no form of air circulation.

This combined with not enough water to go around is a dangerous combination. There is a lot of work to be done and with the new hurricane season upon us the work is even more urgent. Call if you can offer any type of assistance.
