More than 4,000 homes and businesses in Minot, N.D., were displaced when the Souris River overflowed its banks this spring.
Hundreds of LDS volunteers from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming and stakes from Winnipeg, Manitoba and Cardston in Alberta, Canada, dressed in the familiar yellow Mormon Helping Hands T-shirts and provided clean-up assistance.
Missionaries from the South Dakota Rapid City Mission also helped with the clean-up effort.
Elder Nathaniel R. Payne, Area Seventy in the North America Central Area, said within days of the flooding, trucks from Salt Lake City delivered humanitarian supplies that included generators, cleaning supplies, sump pumps, rubber boots, food and hygiene kits. Through July 26, 210 work orders for individual homes had been completed.
