A file for each lies on a desk. Some homes need new windows, roofs and drywall. Others just need some reinforcements and insulation. The Rev. Mr. Gates and Pencare Director E.T. Ray will make sure the work gets done. Mrs. Cookendorfer's home was one of the first, where much of the work was done by a group of Mennonites.
More volunteers arrive each day from across the nation.
Christian Aid Ministries and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Team are in town now. At 503 Barkley St., a North Carolina crew from Baptist churches put on a roof and hung drywall. Most volunteers have taken a week off work to come to Falmouth. They come by invitation only and bring all of their own supplies and food, packed in trailers. One group of 160 is living the week in tents at the fairgrounds.
