Rehab of Homes damaged by Hurricane Sandy continues in Port Monmouth, NJ

On 10/04/13, six members of the District 14-E Lions Club headquartered in Westmoreland County traveled to Port Monmouth, NJ in their Lions "Care-A-Van" to work with the Christiana Lions for the day on 10/5/2013.

 We focused on David and Donna's home that was damaged during the Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.

They raised their house 9' feet to get it above future flood levels and added a basement.

Our goal was to finish up the odds and ends inside the house prior to inspections and clean up material removed from the damaged house and piled up in the backyard.

After approvals are received, the next wave of volunteers will install the insulation and drywall.

The volunteers from Westmoreland and Lancaster County Lions Clubs thank Bill Bechtold, local 

Lions co-ordinator in New Jersey, for a fine meal at the end of the day.

There are many more families in the NY / NJ region that are still trying to recover from the damage Hurricane Sandy did to their homes.  If you are interested in lending a hand, you can contact Jim Groff with the Christiana Chapter at 610.636.2612 or lionsalertteam@comcast.net for more information.
