The Southeast Missourian asked people how they had participated in helping victims of the Flood of '93 or how they were going to become involved during this crisis?

Ron MacCubbin, Red Cross District Services Chairman: "We have mobile feeding units serving 6,600 meals a day to St. Genevieve, to Commerce, to Chester, to Cairo. Both sides of the river are covered. We have nursing staff in the field, local doctors on call and mental health people in full force. Incredible volunteers."

Chelsea Bower~man of Cape Girardeau: "I guess the only thing I've done is volunteer at the Heartland Cares Telethon as a worker at the concession stand. If there is still sandbagging I'd like to get into that."

Peggy Barringer of Cape Girardeau: "The only thing I know to do is give them monetary support, a dollar here, a dollar there. I am also here at the Telethon volunteering."

Nick Barrett of Cape Girardeau: "We gave some cleaning supplies. Helping Blattner's Engineering from becoming flooded; that's where I work. I'd like to help with some cleanup stuff eventually."

Dan Niswonger of Cape Girardeau: "I just came back from vacation so at the first opportunity to volunteer I came to the Telethon. I encourage my children to volunteer. I'm donating my time where I believe it will do the most good. I couldn't wait to get back and help."

Cheryl Harris of Jackson: "I've sandbagged at Red Star and Dutchtown. I gave money at the Heartland Cares Telethon. I work a lot so it's hard to get out there. I'll be giving cleaning supplies from Wal-Mart."
