WHITELAND — This week marks one year since destructive storms and tornadoes ripped through central Indiana.An estimated 130 properties were damaged on March 31, 2023.“Disaster relief is local. Beginning, middle, and end, is local," Stackhouse said.
He's the Pastor at HeavenEarth Church, one of the main distribution sites providing relief to families in the weeks after the tornado.“We’re still working. It’s a year later and that tells you the complexity of this," Stackhouse said. Stackhouse is also the chairman of the Johnson County Long Term Recovery Group, which has spent the last year assisting over 200 families with unmet needs.
“It’s a team of eight teams. Construction, disaster relief case management, finance, spiritual and emotional care. We had to find folks who were willing to volunteer on those teams and then we had to find chair-people who would be on those teams. That’s the steering team," Stackhouse said.“For the most part, everyone is on the road to recovery," Director of Administration for the Town of Whiteland Carmen Young said.
