8 August 2022 – It was a hot day, and although the popup canopy shade was better than broad daylight, some of the elderly clients especially appreciated the air-conditioned conference room on the truck. The truck provided power and Wi-Fi access for the Red Cross staff. Today, Jay and Tim returned to Whitesburg to continue the support and the work of the Recovery team there.
