Stash of donations ‘taken away’ today in Erwin, TN...my wife had been called by a friend and told that “if you still needed clothes, to come and get it.” So we jumped in our car, and off to Erwin. Too late...everything was GONE! This was a high school that been loaded to the ceiling with donations from East Tennessee to the people of Erwin. What happened? Some say it went to Goodwill, and knowing them, they’ll resell those items in their stores. Others say trucks took the items to Bristol Raceway, roughly fifty miles to the north, AWAY from the Flood Zone AND the people of Erwin.. WTF??? Why not leave the items with local churches?
It’s a Stephen King movie here in Appalachia, folks.
What is a local church we can send things to?
