Minneapolis, MN -- After many years of relying exclusively on other volunteers' vehicles to tow its equipment trailers, Nechama has purchased its first truck! The purchase has been contemplated for some time and made to coordinate with the hiring of the new Deployment Manager, Ken Streiff. Part of Ken's duties will be care and maintenance of the truck as well as Nechama's equipment stocks. Perry Witkin, Nechama President, said, "This vehicle is a big first step in filling out Nechama's ability to quickly get to any disaster scene around the state with the right equipment in tow." Nechama hopes that a second truck may be in its near future plans. Efforts are currently underway to find a donor for a second vehicle.
