Quick Reaction Force, Inc. (QRF)

Maryland Tornado Relief Update:

7 confirmed tornadoes, 5 in Maryland, 1 in West Virginia, 1 in Virginia, with perhaps the worst damage being in the Gaithersburg, Maryland area where QRF deployed to assist. It was an honor to respond to the need of those in the path of extensive damage in Gaithersburg Maryland, and provide some assistance to so many families devastated by last night’s rash of tornadoes that ran through Maryland. We were able to offer some clean up assistance and more importantly work together not only with victims we could assist on scene and monetarily but also have meaningful contact with so many neighbors, police, town works crews, lineman, restoration experts and even some City Council members on foot…. All pulling together to start the recovery process for Montgomery County. Good stuff !

Wye Parish Parishioners, QRF needs our support, through donation of items needed for disaster victims in shelters, and for equipment to aid in search and rescue on disaster sites. Boxes are available in both our churches. Please take a few moments to check out the QRF web site to learn more.
