Not long after Hurricane Sally made landfall in mid-September, an army composed of mostly senior citizens in yellow hats descended on the Gulf Coast.
Outside of Hillcrest Baptist Church in this town on the state’s panhandle, a dozen volunteers from the Florida Baptist Convention got to work in a mobile kitchen, preparing thousands of meals of Salisbury steaks with a side of vegetables for residents left without power or a place to live. Around the tent were stacks of warming containers, waiting to be filled with means and loaded in Salvation Army trucks to be distributed in the community.
