WEST BRIDGEWATER – From pallets of water to bales of hay and every single essential item in between, towns across Massachusetts are coming together by the trailer load to help families impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Trailer filled with supplies
“What we can do to help North Carolina, we’re happy to do it,” said West Bridgewater Police Sgt. Jonathan Kraven.
In West Bridgewater, the police station garage has been turned into a local command center for items being donated by residents. Kraven said they’ve been coordinating with North Carolina Highway Patrols.
“The support that we’ve received has been amazing,” said Kraven. “Our officers have been coming in off-duty to help sort.”
They’ve just about filled one trailer with more than 15 pallets of food, water and other essentials and another trailer is on the way. Heather Concannon came to donate items with her 11-year-old daughter, Cali.
“We’re bringing first aid kits, personal little first aid kits that they can hand out and also personal toiletry items that come in a little kit for them as well,” said Concannon.
