Monday morning“We have a challenge to be done by 2:30 p.m., but I would very shocked if we get that,” IMS volunteer Teri Downey said.Downey and her youth church group out of the East Side Church of God in Anderson have cleaned IMS for a decade. “It’s pretty messy, it’s pretty gross work. I think I have beer all over my body now from today’s efforts alone,” Downey said.The groups are all volunteers, but there is a way to make money. The more of cans they collect, the more cash they earn.The aluminum is weighed and organizations can get around $10 a bag. “Several of our kids are going to get to go on mission trips this year, that otherwise they may not have been able to afford,” Downey said.An unknowing donation is just another perk campers said is part of the experience. That and losing a pair of shoes from the mud caused by last week’s rain.“I’m bringing my rubber boots next time,” Schlundt said. “Yeah, yeah, yeah I forgot. I was born and raised in Indiana, but I forgot when the rain comes down. It comes down and doesn’t stop,” Tim Duffour said.IMS said crews will work on the grounds again Tuesday.Share this:Like this:LikeLoading...Related PostsAdvertisement... (WISH-TV)
