On the Road

Follow Kate to the coast with Mobile Loaves & Fishes.

It's been tough sitting by watching the goings on from the comfort of home. Ike made his move, now, so must I. So I've hopped aboard the Mobile Loaves & Fishes express. (Hit that link and donate!) We are hitting the road with a convoy of four trucks loaded with basic relief supplies to distribute to whomever we find, wherever we go.

It's 9:20am, and we are heading out. Our truck is first going north to fetch more ice, then we will meet the group at Hruska's in Ellinger. Not that we are going to eat kolaches or anything...

I'm getting ready to upload pix from this morning's load-in. Until next post, enjoy this picture gallery from yesterday's pre-trip strategy meeting.

Plus, you can also check the MLF Blog.

More soon.
