Volunteers: The city is directing volunteers desiring to work on debris removal and recovery efforts first check in at a Disaster Relief Station located at the Family Life Center of Dresden First Baptist Church on Morrow Street to be assigned to a team that will be working in assigned areas of the city. The recovery effort has been tremendous thus far and they welcome volunteers to continue to be part of this unified effort to build back Dresden Strong.
Warming Station: A warming station that is open 24 hours a day currently open at the Adult Learning Center on Highway 22.
Dresden Debris Pickup: Place tree and building debris at the edge of streets. We are further asking that building material be separated from tree debris as the two types of debris will be picked up separately. The city is also obtaining a number of dumpsters for citizens to place building or construction debris along with household waste such as refrigerator and freezer contents, which will be disposed of in a landfill. When delivered, two of those dumpsters will be located on the parking lot behind city hall two will be located at the Dresden Farmers Market, and one in the vicinity of Jerry’s 66 on Pikeview St.
Donations: Collected by The Shed and Henry County Sheriff’s Office are monetary or gift cards. These will then be distributed by The Shed to those individuals in need. Donations my be dropped off in dispatch at the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.
