Like most of Milwaukee, Agape Community Center received the "gift" of a flooded basement this past week. Monday morning, staff members and a team of volunteers worked to sort, salvage, toss, and mop. By Tuesday, we were ready for sopping carpeting to be removed, and all items that could be salvaged had been scrubbed with bleach and moved to a "clean zone" until t
he basement itself could be decontaminated from the flood waters. Youth and Teen services, which occur in the basement activity area, and computer lab activities, which occur in the now-wet and disassembled lab, were canceled until all repairs and reorganization could be completed. A special thanks to each Agape staff member, to our volunteers from Vets' Central, and to Russ. Each came to our rescue! We so appreciate it!! We estimate our damage total at between $12,000 and $24,000 at this time, but we look on the bright side. Everyone was safe... and everyone is working together as a team to help us as we recuperate!!
