Mario Innocenzi is planning to head back down to North Carolina for a second time to support Hurricane Helene survivors because he said there’s an even greater need for items like sleeping bags and tents.
“This is what they need. They need things to keep warm. They need things to put over their head. We’ve already delivered one haul truck load of love from Northeast Ohio. We’re going on a second possibly a third,” said Mario Innocenzi of Mario’s Barbershop in Parma.
When News 5 first met Innocenzi three weeks ago, he asked the community for water, non-perishable food items and all-new clothes for men, women and children, among other things.

Now, Innocenzi said he has a different plea because he said those items aren’t enough.
“These people absolutely have nothing, so we came back and said we don’t need all the stuff we got. They need tents, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets, cookware for outdoors and that’s what we have… a whole truckload,” Innocenzi said.
