Vanport flood relief

Title
Vanport flood relief
Description
Photographs of six men and women with a stack of items donated to the Vanport Flood Disaster relief. The boxes have signs on them which read things such as 'Contribute; Van Port [sic] City Flood Disaster Relief; Cabrillo Committee.' A General Air Cargo, Inc. plane sits in the background. The women work for Volunteers of America, a faith-based nonprofit founded in 1896. The Vanport flood occurred on May 30, 1948, when a piece of the dike holding back the Columbia River collapsed. Vanport City was destroyed in the ensuing flood.
