Editor’s note: Cliff and Joyce Munroe experienced major flooding to their home in 2007 and discovered a wealth of knowledge to help with the current renovation of Gospel Mission.
Early in January 2022, floodwaters reached almost four feet inside the Lewis County Gospel Mission building in Chehalis, Washington.
Between the floodwaters and the resulting power cut to refrigerators and freezers, the mission lost 90% of its food supply. Many other supplies were also discarded, including most of its clothing inventory.
