MDS_Mennonite Disaster Service

@matt_vanswol Matt, a clarification on the Amish crews... n cooperation with WV VOAD, over 150 bridges were built in West Virginia, not Western NC. To date, MDS has built one new bridge Iron Station, NC. Several culverts and temporary water crossing have been repaired, new bridges to come.

@LancasterMenno Thanks for your hard work in building these walls to help get another disaster survivor back into her home!

LM students spent the semester in their high school Construction Class building walls for a new Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) house for a person in Crisfield, Maryland, who lost their home due to flooding and water damage. Learn more at the link below! lancastermennonite.org/about/news/lm-…
