The historic flooding that washed through North Texas two weeks ago is still causing problems for many people.
The warehouse for the non-profit, Irving Schools Foundation, was damaged in the storm and subsequent flooding.
“We lost furniture, all of our shelving units that we store the food got damaged. They’re wood and they soaked up the water,” Irving Schools Foundation CEO Crystal Scanio said. “My number one priority is the safety of our children. If we had any kind of mold that grows… we just have to get rid of it. Our $9,000 used forklift was sitting in the water for 2 days.”
Volunteers showed up after the storm and helped the organization get to the point where they were able to still get meals to the kids, but the damage to the warehouse is making it difficult to keep up with their programs.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
