The Edisto Beach Fire Department spearheaded an effort to deliver much-needed items to those parts of North Carolina recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Helene.
Over 3500 pounds of donated items were delivered to the towns of Spruce Pine and Burnsville. The donated items included sleeping supplies, cold weather gear, cleaning supplies, cooking supplies, personal hygiene items, and various miscellaneous items.
Chief Conley, Firefighter Bryan Henderson, and Volunteer Fire Vice President Wendy Griffin made the trip to North Carolina with the fire squad and trailer. They were greeted with gratitude, hugs, and smiles as they dropped off items to these towns. Another trip is being planned for November, and notice will again be shared for donations.
The Edisto Beach Town Council, the Fire Department, and the Volunteer Fire Department thank all residents and others who so generously donated these items to those in need. The turnaround time between the donation announcement and the delivery was only a matter of days, but so many stepped up! The Town thanks all who contributed.
