Dear CBDR and WYDR Volunteers,

Our new CBDR office and conference room is finally finished and is now ready for work to be started there. I am looking for a couple of volunteers that would set up our file system and some other office needs.

Address:

               15211 Washington St

               Broomfield

In April, we will be getting back to working on the arena where all our vehicles and supplies are now stored. We will need volunteers to help with building floors in the stall area to put our shelving units on to keep our supplies organized and ready for any deployment.

One of the other needs is to have a sign made for the front of the arena building that has our logo  and Colorado Baptist Disaster Relief. We will be measuring the existing sign over the roll up door and get the correct measurements.

This is going to be an exciting year for CBDR with many opportunities to serve in our communities and being involved in local community events to promote CBDR! We will be having some regional CBDR/WYDR trainings though out the year and hope you will join us to get your credentials updated and be willing to deploy to the next disaster “Call-Out”  CBDR is needing to increase our volunteers to be able to meet the needs of any deployments down the road.

Areas of needs for Volunteers:

• Feeding Unit
• Mobile Command Center
• Communications
• Chaplaincy
• Drivers for hauling CBDR trailers and equipment (CBDR Certified)
• Recovery (ash-out, mud-out)
• Mold Mitigation
• Shower/Laundry
• Help in our Arena office and grounds
• Maintenance of our vehicles and trailers

UPDATE ON THE CBDR/WYDR CALIFORNIA DEPLOYMENT

Our teams are in their last week of serving in the Personal Property Recovery efforts with the Eaton Fires in Pasadena, CA. Below are some of the stats:

• 693 Work Hours
• 114 Volunteer Days
• 32 Bibles distributed
• 27 Assessments completed
• 29 Crisis Buckets distributed
• 35 Personal Property Recovery jobs completed

Please continue to pray for our volunteers as they serve for this last week. It has been a long deployment, but it has been a blessing not only to those that were helped, but also our volunteers. Thank you to all who helped to make this deployment a success.

If you have not seen our CBDR Website  www.ColoradoDR.org for a while, please look at all that has been going with deployments and other projects. You can also update your needed forms to be ready for upcoming deployments.

I look forward to serving with you soon.

Serving Together,

Dennis Belz
