Men unload donated furniture from Germany into a storage shed at the homeless shelter established by the church, "New Beginnings," in the aftermath of an industrial accident caused by a rupture in a toxic alumina sludge reservoir at a nearby plant in Devecser, Hungary on November 22, 2010. Hundreds were left homeless and injured and ten deaths resulted from an industrial accident on October 4, 2010 caused by a reservoir rupture at the MAL plant in nearby Ajka, Hungary; while many have found temporary accommodations, the church has assisted a few families and individuals who were without recourse or options in the aftermath of such a catastrophe.
