Below: Signs of hope were prevalent around the community in the storm’s aftermath.<br />
Jose Ortega<br />
Pastor Jose Ortega, with the<br />
National Association of Christian<br />
Churches Disaster Action Team, is<br />
helping organize and operate the<br />
ad hoc warehouse just outside of<br />
Henryville that is being operated<br />
in cooperation with the Henryville<br />
Community Church.<br />
Pastor Ortega says serving is<br />
“the most satisfying thing you<br />
can do. All of us have it in us and<br />
when the opportunity presents itself<br />
it brings out the best.”<br />
Janetta Coley<br />
Janetta Coley of Cordon grew up in the area. “This is my community<br />
too…I grew up here,” she said. She came to Henryville on<br />
day one and put her past experience operating a café and managing<br />
restaurants to good use, serving three meals a day at the Henryville<br />
Community Center (also a major distributor of food and groceries to<br />
those in need) for two weeks following the storm.<br />
