“We have a 26-foot U-Haul truck and we are headed to the Hillview Heights Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The truck is 3/4 full of supplies, but with the room left over, before leaving Chillicothe we are getting totes to fill the rest of the U-Haul. Many people there have need of totes to carryout items from their storm damages homes.”

DeGarmo said the local giving was not just material items. “The financial donations has been $12,000 raised in Chillicothe.”
