 Well, a month ago we told you about a hurricane relief drive being held by students at Voyager's Expeditionary School, where they spent the last month collecting items to send on a semi-truck down to Houston, Texas. Now, through the kindness and generosity of businesses and individuals, students collected over 1,500 items to send to families struggling to rebuild after Hurricane Harvey. Items ranging from school supplies to cleaning supplies were collected, leaving a lasting impression on students on how a community can come together to help those in need. I learned how much it takes to get other companies to help out and what kind of process it takes to get other big businesses to help out in town. But I also learned that when the community sees that a different community is in need, we are very good at getting together and helping out, so I like that a lot. Next, the semi-truck loaded with supplies will begin the 2,000 mile journey down to Houston, and will be making stops collecting more items from towns along the route. The driver, every item counts and will make a big difference for those in need. My expectations, if I can even fill half the trailer, I'd be ecstatic. The fact that this is going to help families that are in desperate need of these supplies, if we can even help a handful of families, that's, you know, what I'm really shooting for. The Hurricane Relief Drive was put together by participating chapters of JCIUSA.
