HOUSTON (WBAP/KLIF) – Texas Baptist Men deployed a box unit over the weekend to help people after Friday’s explosion at a Houston manufacturing plant. Two employees were killed.
The team out of Katy, Texas will distribute free packing boxes for people to use as they sort through their belongings.
“As people return to the area, they are surveying the damage and looking to see what they can save,” said Dwain Carter, director of TBM Disaster Relief. “These boxes provide a very practical tool to help them. It also provides an opportunity for conversation where trained volunteers can comfort and encourage those who have been affected by the explosion.”
Debris flew as far as two miles in the wake of Friday’s explosion and hundreds of homes have been impacted. In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, two neighborhoods were closed off to people who don’t live there. The recovery process will be extensive.
100 percent of disaster relief gifts to TBM support disaster relief ministry.
