God’s Pit Crew’s Immediate Disaster Response Team will deploy a second wave of volunteers to the Houston, Texas, area on Monday, August 5.  As volunteer crews currently onsite in Texas wrap up the first stent of assistance for Hurricane Beryl victims, they express the tremendous damage that still plagues the communities there and the help still needed.

The God’s Pit Crew team will return home for a short refresh period and then redeploy to Texas to continue cleanup and relief efforts.  The semi-trucks and haulers equipped with chainsaws, tarps and other equipment to assist with cleanup efforts will be restocked and return to be on hand to assist homeowners with damaged tree and debris removal.

Four tractor-trailer loads of critical relief products such as Blessing Buckets and Play Pails – along with pallets of bottled water, Gatorade, snack food, and cleaning supplies – have recently been sent into the affected areas where multiple partnering organizations continue to distribute into the hands that need them most.

The God’s Pit Crew Immediate Disaster Response Team will travel to the affected area on Monday, August 5, with plans to remain through Thursday, August 15.  Individuals in need of assistance are asked to email ImmediateResponse@GodsPitCrew.org with their name, phone number, address, and a brief description of the scope of work that is needed.  Volunteers will be working to cut and remove damaged trees, debris, and pray with families.

“The amount of damage here in Texas is surreal,” commented God’s Pit Crew Immediate Disaster Response Coordinator Chris Chiles.  “The need for more help is so large.  Our team has worked tirelessly to this point to help as many people as possible, but we could use all of the help and support available to keep powering on.”

For those available to assist with the ongoing relief efforts, through financial support or by volunteering, resources to get involved can be found at GodsPitCrew.org or by calling God’s Pit Crew headquarters at (434) 836-4472.

God’s Pit Crew President Randy Johnson reiterated the need for help in Houston and the surrounding communities.

“This storm may be fading from the headlines, but the need for help is still evident in Texas,” remarked Johnson.  “Your support – whether through volunteering or donations – is helping show those still with damage that help and hope are still available.”
