Haan Phelps Quotations

Everybody was pumped up the first week. We had lots of volunteers in the beginning. Now the sense of dropping everything to come help is not as great as at the beginning. Volunteers are driving great distances and having to pay their own gas and tolls. I don't think it's our responsibility to give, give, give and not see motivation on the evacuees' level.

I don't like to throw food away. It's frustrating when somebody takes three biscuits and only eats two.

This is not a restaurant. They can't come in here and order New Orleans shrimp, because I don't know I'm going to get reimbursed for it.

It's a real energy taker. It's not our job to do this. It's not that we don't want to do it, but it's also important to get a thank you back. All it would take would be one thank you.

We are providing a sanctuary for God's people. You don't hear sirens and police cars going up and down around here.
