Since a huge section of the Champlain Towers South building collapse in Surfside, Florida, early on Jun 20th, a growing army of volunteers has been offering everything from water and energy drinks to pizza and deep-fried Oreos to firefighters, police officers and other rescue workers working 12-hour shifts at the site. At nearby Casa Church, Pastor Ezequiel Fattore got to work handing out refreshments to first responders within hours of the collapse. The pastor said he’s had heartbreaking conversations with loved ones of those dead and missing, but the outpouring from volunteers has reaffirmed his faith.
