On August 28, 2011, Hurricane Irene devastated the neighborhood of Pompton Lakes, NJ, resulting in unprecedented damages—with some houses receiving over 8-feet of water from the swollen Pompton Lakes River.
The night before the storm, families were unaware of the dangers around them and remained in their neighborhoods with hopes of waiting out the storm. Early morning, however, when Irene unleashed her fury on the state of New Jersey, the residents had no choice but evacuate their homes.

Volunteers from the Church of God worked arduously for over three consecutive days to help families with work that, as many described, would have taken them weeks and even months to finish on their own.
The members also consoled the grieving families, who had lost everything. Through the love and joy that come from God, the members gave hope to the victims who had lost their homes, and restored their dignity.

The volunteer work of WMSCOG is very impressive, for they share always the love of Heavenly Mother.
