Trucks with donations headed to hurricane victims in North Carolina

Trucks with donations headed to hurricane victims in North Carolina

A truck with supplies for people still recovering from Hurricane Helene left Rotterdam on Wednesday morning, bound for Florida.

Hurricane Milton is arriving, as many people are still trying to recover from Hurricane Helene. 

A convoy of local trucks filled with donations is on the way now to help hurricane victims in North Carolina.

Tractor-trailers and trucks launched from Rotterdam early Monday morning to head to communities that were hit hard by Helene. 

The trucks are full of everything from generators to medicine and bedding – all donated by people here in the Capital Region.

The grassroots effort started with local businessowner Justin Sherwin, who put a call out for help on Friday.

The group has another truck leaving Saturday, so they are still collecting donations.
