From North Carolina-
A box truck sat outside St. John’s Episcopal church on Carmel road in south Charlotte Sunday waiting to be filled with donations for tornado victims.
Jack Conlan, who serves as the church’s outreach director, was up early Sunday to open the back of the truck.
The church is working with Wake Interfaith Team and the Wake County Long Term Recovery Organization to help provide much needed items like bed sheet, blankets, pillows, bath accessories, and all types of baby items.
“It means so much to give these items to people as they transition back to normal,” said Conlan.
Saint John’s wants to fill the truck up completely with donated items that they have collected since Memorial Day. They plan to drive and deliver on Monday.
“It feels great. St. John’s is a great church. They always come forward when people need help,” said Judie Ratcliffe.
