CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – Citizens of Lowcountry communities are rallying to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene in the Carolinas.
One of the organizations stepping up is a North Charleston restaurant. Adam Randall, owner of The CODfather, Proper Fish & Chips , drove up to western South Carolina over the weekend. He collected supplies from the US Foods Chef’s Store before driving his trailer up to Hendersonville, North Carolina. Randall returned after completing the drop-off at a local church.
“Just started bringing stuff, we’re not really sure what we were doing,” Randall said. “We’re just doing something. When we arrived, we were the first truck they said they had seen to bring a major load of supplies. They had water – most of Hendersonville didn’t even have water, so it was definitely a much needed drop.”
Also, the Isle of Palms Police Department is collecting donations until Wednesday at 3p.m. after Sgt. Sharon Baldrick and Melissa Dawson put together a drive Sunday night. The two are partnering with Operation Airdrop . They are asking for lighter supplies as the helicopter can only carry a limited weight.
