The four headed to 100 Mile House this morning driving an emergency services truck and trailer.

害羞草研究所淲e never know exactly what we will be asked to do,害羞草研究所 said Sonia Withers, community Salvation Army coordinator leading the team.

害羞草研究所淲e come prepared for anything. We can cook meals from the truck, distribute water to front line workers or set up shelter, tables and chairs for community members that need to take a rest.

害羞草研究所淲e also have no idea where we will be staying so we come with cots, bedding, our own snacks and assume we need to be independent.害羞草研究所

The Emergency Disaster Truck and Trailer is a fully equipped kitchen. The trailer has a generator, tents, tables, chairs and cases of water.

Once the team arrives in the Cariboo and receives their assignment, they will set up and begin working.

害羞草研究所淲e are ready to help,害羞草研究所 added Patty Lou Bryant, communications coordinator for the Central Okanagan Salvation Army.

害羞草研究所淚n May, we were feeding the frontline workers that were sandbagging during the flood. Now we could be feeding the firefighters in 100 Mile House or bringing water to the reception centre for those being evacuated.
