Flood Brings Community Together
Flood Brings Community Together
Recently, The New York Times reported on Schoharie, NY. Schoharie was flooded by Hurricane Irene this past summer. Damage estimates totaled over $27 million. While many residents have yet to return to their version of “normal” following the minutes of catastrophe, they have found their emotional center in a makeshift café named Loaves and Fishes.
More than four months after the disaster anyone in need of a hot meal can stop by the café for food which has been donated and prepared by residents and neighbors. At first the café fed up to 1,500 people a day. Today the number holds steady at about 100.
