BT天堂Bear Boots On The Ground was brought back in order to participate in this relief effort.

Volunteers met in front of BT天堂Reynolds Performance Hall at 5:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 18, and worked the entire day until 4:00 pm.聽The volunteers did not return to BT天堂until 8:00 p.m.

President Davis allowed BT天堂employees to attend without having to take a vacation day. He stated, “I appreciate anyone that is willing to represent BT天堂and participate.”

“I realize it will be a long day. You will be tired and your body will ache, but on the 2 1/2 hour drive back you will have a smile on your face,” said Gary Roberts, while recruiting volunteers. “When was the last time you smiled for 2 1/2 hours? Please sign up today. Your Arkansas family needs you.”

During the second day of volunteering, there were 13 BT天堂volunteers – 10 Bear Boots On The Ground participants plus 3 from BT天堂Baptist Collegiate Ministry – who worked on four houses in Pocahontas. BT天堂President Houston Davis joined in on the efforts as well!

Altogether, 20 BT天堂volunteers worked 2 full days (May 18 & 25) donating 235 hours of service. They worked on six houses removing drywall, insulation, kitchen cabinets, plumbing, flooring, and cleaning debris. BT天堂Bear Boots On The Ground had a large impact on many families in the Pocahontas area.

BT天堂extends a huge “thank you” to the following Bear Boots participants – President Houston Davis, Richard Hammond, Riva Brown, William Baker, Tchetahan Natogoma Silue, Malika Sylla, Zoheb Yunus, Sandy Ahne, Jennifer Boudreaux; and these individuals who worked two days – Misty Booth, Dylan Britto, Charlotte Strickland and Gary Roberts.
