A House in a Box: Long-Term Disaster Groups Assemble Furniture for Midland Co. Flood Survivors
February 23, 2021
More than 11,000 people in Gladwin and Midland Counties were displaced last year due to a historic flood.
Now, with the help of United Way of Midland County and long-term flood recovery groups, flood survivors are finally able to put back the pieces.
“Flood survivors are just now becoming to reach a point where they’re ready for these items,” says Bre Sklar, disaster volunteer manages at United Way of Midland County.
On Tuesday, volunteers with the Long-Term Disaster Recovery Group, United Way of Midland County and the Disaster Services Corporation supplied 50 flood survivors a ‘Home in a Box’ to help them rebuild their lives.
