Busloads of employees help Minot flood recovery
|
Great River Energy employees got a first-hand look at the flood damage in Minot, N.D., while volunteering to help restore a dwelling that recently housed four Minot families. Two buses filled with Great River Energy employees descended upon Minot in early September to help repair a home destroyed by the flooding. En route to Minot, employees passed through areas surrounding the Souris River to find deserted neighborhoods, dirt dikes being hauled away and homes wearing water level marks on the exterior. |

The volunteers demolished the interior of a fourplex and prepared it to be cleaned and rebuilt. After two days of hard work, the interior demolition was complete and the building was ready for a high-pressure sanitizing cleaning. The building is expected to be completed before the snow falls and provide shelter for four families. Great River Energy coordinated the volunteer event with All Hands Volunteers, a nonprofit organization that provides hands-on assistance to survivors of natural disasters around the world. |
