<div>On August 9th, the North Country region of New York state suffered torrential rains, high winds and floods from Hurricane Debby. The Village of Norwood, NY, experienced mass flooding causing widespread damage to the homes, churches, businesses, and other buildings in the area.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>St. Olympia Orthodox Church, located in the center of Norwood, was hit hard. The downstairs area received approximately 10” of contaminated water caused by sewer backup. In addition to Sunday school space, fellowship hall, kitchen, office space, bathroom facilities, plumbing and heating systems, and storage rooms, the lower level is home to the Norwood Food Pantry, which feeds those in need from the surrounding area. At present, this level is unusable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The main floor of the church, the sanctuary, also suffered damage to the ceiling from water incursion due to roof damage, and both are in urgent need of repair.

<div>Parishioners have been working hard to try to disinfect and dry out the lower level. It is already apparent that there is permanent damage to floors, walls, ceilings.
