Flood 2011

In 2011, the basement of the Matthew 25 Center flooded, and we lost most of our Housewares inventory. We were able to salvage the kitchen wares and some of the bedding/towels/fabric items that were on the top shelves.

All of the electronics were ruined and everything on the bottom shelves was caked with dirt. We lost a good amount of stuff, that is the bad news...but that is also the good news: it's stuff and not people. We can replace stuff slowly.

With a ton of hard work from our volunteers and some students from Guerin, we were able to clean up everything in about a week!
