VBMB team traveling to McComb, MS

I spoke with Terri tonight. Her team spent the night in Georgia and arrived at the staging area at Shocco Springs, AL today. Tomorrow the VBMB team will deploy to McComb, MS and will be providing two meals for approximately 5,000 - 7,000 people. This work will be in partnership with the Salvation Army and American Red Cross. Terri will be working with the chief cook on the unit in an "apprenticeship role".

The VBMB team has approximately 45 people. There are around 35 people on the cooking team. There is a recovery team and a team of Crisis care chaplains. Teams will be rotating into the area on a weekly basis as long as there is need.

McComb is a city of approximately 13,000 people this is about 100 miles north of New Orleans.
