‘Just something Buffalo does’: WNYers driving south for Hurricane Helene relief

The City of Good Neighbors is going above and beyond to make sure victims of Hurricane Helene have everything they need while clean-up begins.

“We’re Western New York. We care, when we have our snow storms, people come help us. Why can’t we help them,” said Tim Berry.

Berry and Shawn McMahon run the Erie County Blotter page and asked neighbors to donate, watch below.

‘WNY always comes together’: Western New Yorkers helping Hurricane Helene victims

We caught up with McMahon and Berry before they packed up and hit the road Wednesday morning with more donations than they expected to get.

“It’s emotional to see WNY come together for people they don’t even know,” said McMahon.

The one thing they need is benadryl, which they’re stopping for during the 10-13 hour drive down south. They plan to stay for a week.
