We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who gave their time and donations! We are humbled by our community’s generosity and compassion that exemplifies the true meaning of the Volunteer Spirit!

There was an amazing turnout over the last week with businesses and private citizens both coming together and donating to help our neighbors to the East!

With your help, we were able to fill two 53-foot semi trailers, two Sprinter vans, a 16ft enclosed trailer, and multiple patrol cars with much needed supplies! We were fortunate enough to make two deliveries. The first delivery was made last Wednesday in Newport, and the second delivery was made yesterday, in Erwin.

But the donations didn’t stop there. Multiple businesses from our community have helped us in donating the use of trailers, semis, cardboard bins, a forklift, towing services for the forklift, bulk donations, and the list goes on.

We are so grateful for all of our community partners! At some points during the last week, donations were coming in so frequently that it became overwhelming, and we were unable to keep up with everyone who helped us. Below is a list of just some of the businesses and organizations that we would like to give a special thank you to!
