We had to wait until FEMA and the government said we could come in. I was not prepared for what I saw down there. When you see it firsthand, it looks like Hiroshima... We were hoping we could go down and help out where it would affect a lot of people: churches, community centers.

At its height, it drew people from all classes, wealthy and poor, Hispanics, blacks, Jews you name it, everybody came. Whole churches collapsed and joined it. There was a force there, it was almost supernatural. People said they could feel it in the air from about three blocks away.

I saw her salt-and-pepper hair all over the country. She was kneeling in the small stone churches. She was sitting in the tiny pubs and laughing with her girlfriends. She was making boiled dinner in the country bed and breakfast. And the aroma was divine.

All of our services are going to be going on -- 8: 15, 9: 30 and two services at 11 a.m. Well, we're here. A lot of churches decided to forgo services on Christmas, but we were open. In fact, 5,200 people come through on Christmas Eve. I think that when folks know that you are open and committed that they will come.

Churches such as Pilgrim Baptist [one of Chicago's most historic black churches, which recently burned in an accident] have largely lost the vibrant community of middle-class blacks who built them up and now are struggling to attract a younger generation. While we value the architecture, it should not be at the expense of ministry, and oftentimes that's the dilemma that we're faced with.

United Way funding is vital to Harvest Texarkana's daily operations, being one of the few nonprofits that does not receive government funding on an annual basis.
