Fase 1:

Hulp bij rampen

Fase 2

De Gap Periode

Global Empowrment Mission Bstrong heeft in samenwerking met E and Js Mobile Kitchen haar Fase 2 Gap Period initiatief opgestart om de overlevenden van de North Complex brand in Berry Creek, Brush Creek, Mountain House Forbstown en Feather Falls California te helpen. GEM verdeelde gereedschap aan lokale vaklieden en aannemers om hen te helpen weer aan het werk te gaan en hun wederopbouw inspanningen te ondersteunen.

Een grote oplegger van de NCS Group leverde de goederen af vanuit het hoofdkantoor van GEM Bstrong in Miami. Naast gereedschap, werden grote hoeveelheden niet bederfelijke levensmiddelen en GEM Bstrong Family Necessities Kits gedistribueerd bij Paradise Gleaners in Oroville Californië. Hartelijk dank aan de Sunshine Foundation voor het ondersteunen van deze gereedschapsdrive.
