Local GOP plans supply drive for September 2 meeting

Recently, Tropical Storm Fred cut a swath of devastation across the western areas of North Carolina. Little warning coupled with high winds and torrential rain, made this devastation widespread and fierce. When the storm had subsided, many were left without the basics for survival. Lt. Governor Mark Robinson recognized the need for relief for the western side of our state, and the Davidson GOP would like to lend a hand. We are holding a "Pack-the-Trailer" Night at our next monthly meeting on September 2. We think this is a great opportunity to help provide some assistance and relief to those who were impacted by Fred. We are asking for donations of bottled water, non-perishable food items, school supplies and toiletries in addition to the items on the list below. 

Any size muck boots

Shovels

Work boot socks

Pressure washers

Hammers

Stand up tents or canopies

Screwdrivers (manual and powered)

Water hoses

Extension cords

Men’s work gloves

Nails and screws

Black contractor trash bags

Paper towels

Floor Squeegees

Two chainsaws

Heavy duty mops and brooms

Plastic totes with lids

Bug Spray

Wheelbarrows

Tarps

These items will help the Davidson GOP assist Robinson in taking care of those who were impacted by Tropical Storm Fred. Anything you are willing to donate is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to seeing you at our next monthly meeting on September 2 at Yarborough's Restaurant in Lexington. The trailer will be parked there beginning at 6:00pm and throughout the entirety of our meeting.

Thank you for your support!
