Ohio Youth Groups Helps With Century Tornado Cleanup

June 8, 2016

Almost two dozen youth from the First United Methodist Church in Van Wert, OH, spent their Tuesday hard at work cleaning up tornado damage in Century.

Century was hit by an EF-3 tornado on February 15.

The youth and their leaders were on their way to Orange Beach, stopping for the day of service in Century.

“We are hopeful that what we are doing will be a blessing for the people of Century,” one of the volunteers said.

    >>>where are the youth of Century? Why aren’t they helping?

    Many have helped at their own homes or as part of other organized groups (churches, sports teams, etc). Some we have covered, some we have not.

    Many thanks to the youths of Ohio, your work is truly appreciated. With that said, where are the youth of Century? Why aren’t they helping?

    What a joy to know that the collaborative efforts of the Escambia Long Term Recovery Group and their partners have provided opportunity for these volunteers to offer help and hope!
