The operation was a success. 1,400 miles traveled in 24 hours of straight driving. We delivered 3 pallets of water, Gatorade, food, hygiene products, a generator & gas, medical supplies, diapers & wipes, battery banks, fuel & oil for chain saws, bug spray, baby food, headlamps & batteries, blankets, underwear & socks, and I’m sure I’m forgetting to name some items. With right at $2000 donated helped to purchase items and helped to fuel our trip. We did so good!
All items were delivered to Grindstone Ministries who are stationed at Cherry Grove Baptist Church located just outside the affected area.
Thank you all who shared our posts, prayed over us and helped donate. It’s making such a difference in those peoples lives.
