Winter Storm Fern may be out of the forecast, but recovery in Monroe, Louisiana is far from over. In this week’s Minuteman Minute, hear directly from MDR leaders serving on the ground. #MinutemanTeam #MonroeLA

Rain on Tuesday. Muddy but sunny the last two days. Same mission every day. Show up and serve. While many have moved on from Winter Storm Fern, families in Monroe are still recovering. MDR is here to bring hope when help is still needed. #MinutemanTeam
