I just don't see what the point of today's exercise was, at least in Discovery.
When someone on the street I was working on said a whole busload of volunteers had arrived people were happy. Some new arms and shoulders and backs would be so welcome. We misunderstood. We were told you guys were here to welcome us home, not to physically help.
One comment, not mine, was that they didn't bring any shovels but they did bring a TV camera crew.
Someone said you went back to McMahon and had food trucks. Is that true?

I'm not 100% sure what the crews sent out on the buses did (didn't get there early enough) but I think it was supposed to be related to visiting homeowners and making sure they had everything they needed. Those of us who came later were sent out to help with cleanup. I think both roles were important.
There were food trucks at McMahon giving out free food to volunteers (mostly hot dogs/hamburgers) before and presumably after.
