VSN is looking for volunteers to staff a Red Cross supplies distribution center at the Living Faith Church in Viroqua (behind Midway Motel and Main Street Kitchen).  We will need volunteers to work varying shifts starting very soon.  This distribution center is much needed for those residents adversely affected by the wind storm and flooding.  Your help is very much appreciated!  If you are interested in volunteering please contact Gary Thompson at  637-3650 or cell# 632-0058.

For those of you interested in volunteering in Gays Mills, please meet at the North Crawford High School between Soldiers Grove and Gays Mills on Highway 131 Saturday at 9:00 a.m.  VSN will have a volunteer command center set up as a place to organize.  As volunteers we need you to check in at the VSN command center to sign-in when you arrive and when you leave.  We will be working throughout the weekend; your efforts are needed as soon as you are able.

If interested in volunteering in Gays Mills and surrounding communities please come prepared with rubber boots, gloves, and drinking water.  Also, the following supplies are needed to help our volunteer crews: shovels, rakes, trash bags, chain saws and trained operators, and any other item or equipment you think might be helpful. Please bring what you can as supplies are very limited.

As of Friday afternoon, there was no standing water in Gays Mills and the water has receded to the bridge.  Please come prepared to work and understand that the work will be DIRTY.  Highway 131 may not be open across the bridge in Soldiers Grove.  You may have to take County X just south of Soldiers Grove over to Highway 131.  County X will take you right to the North Crawford High School.

If interested in volunteering in Gays Mills please contact Mike Wheeler at 624-5292

Thank you for your help!
