A WORD FROM C WHITT

Dear Sauce Subscriber,

Since we last connected, a catastrophic storm barreled through Northwest Indiana August 11th leaving my beautiful city of Gary and other communities powerless and filled with unbelievable destruction! (See photo above)

My family and I are safe, and I am quite honestly, grateful to be alive. Ten days later, and there are still thousands throughout the region who have no power.

The positive side of me continues to reflect on the bright moments that have unfolded as a result of the storm. Pictured is my big brother Ken cutting our 95-year-old father's hair. The power outage at his home afforded the opportunity for them to hang out at our house for a haircut, breakfast and lots of quality time.

In addition, I am watching my community come together in ways I have never previously witnessed. From food giveaways to prayer vigils to neighbors helping neighbors, it's beautiful to see.

Shout out to my client the YWCA of NWI for stepping up to be the City of Gary's official 24/7 resource hub for those in need of food, shelter and other resources. The Gary Community School Corporation donated all of the food in every school's freezer for it to be prepared and shared with Gary residents. There have since been scores of food/resource giveaways with many more in store as we work together to recover from this natural disaster.

Special thanks to those who have reached out from across the country checking on me, my family and my CITY! Just know that we are resilient, and I can't wait to share all of the good that will result from our BIG COMEBACK! In the meantime, everyone stay safe, and enjoy this issue of THE SAUCE! - C WHITT
