Camp Miller December Update
I want to start this message with my heartfelt gratitude for so many of you showing up for the resilient people of Pensacola, NC. The generosity in the forms of fundraising, donations, volunteering, networking and constant prayers and thoughts are all necessary on this journey of recovery and rebuilding.
With your partnership we have been able to rebuild so much that the storm washed away:
We have 500+ total projects that have been entered into our system in the last 65 days and at least 150 more before we were digital
Currently have completed in excess of 450 projects
Replaced two vehicle bridges and two walking bridges
Insulated and dried in multiple houses / temporary dwellings
Re-settled multiple families, whose homes were destroyed, in campers temporarily
Served over 35,000 meals
Donated a vehicle to a family that had their car destroyed by the storm
Provided access and egress to well over 200 homes with repaired driveways, culverts and gravel
Mucked out basements, garages, kitchens and living areas
Returned rivers and creeks to their original flows
Provided shower and laundry facilities
Connected multiple people who had vital communication needs to starlink while creating communication hubs
Distributed and installed over 250 generators

Repaired countless electrical, HVAC, plumbing, roof, foundation issues

Distributed over 12,000 gallons of gas, 7,000 gallons of diesel and 2,000 gallons of kerosene

We have prayed with and practically served so many that we could have never helped without your partnership and contribution.
