City of Houston Housing & Community Development added 25 new photos from June 24 to the album: Mayor Parker Honors Faith-Based Volunteers — with Jan Chappell and 4 others in Houston, Texas.

·

Mayor Annise Parker Mayor issued proclamations at Houston City Council recognizing the relief efforts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), NECHAMA Jewish Response to Disaster and the Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church. These were the three largest groups of volunteers that were instrumental in assisting the areas most affected by the Memorial Day flooding.
These faith-based groups quickly organized their volunteers and were some of the first volunteers on the scene lending a hand to families that were struggling to recover from the Memorial Day floods. In addition to local volunteers, many of the volunteers were from outside the Houston area.
More volunteer groups are scheduled for recognition in the weeks ahead.
