Maxwell said he frequently takes supplies to North Carolina and that the biggest need at the moment is propane.
“Since people are still living in tents, quite a bit and campers, they are going through lots of propane, we’ve carried several hundred canisters of propane up there, I don’t even know how many heaters, let’s just say 100-150 heaters,” said Maxwell. “We’ve also carried the hose adapters so they can hook those heaters up to 20-pound cylinders but yeah the needs still there.”
