Why help? Nashville, TN was hit with 18" of rain in one weekend. Homes were flooded with 4'-6' of water in many cases. People in our neighboring state are in the process of rebuilding their homes & lives. In many cases without the assistance of insurance. This was a 500 year flood that hit many homes that were not even near water, so they didn't have flood insurance.
When you have 4'-6' of water in your home, you have to trash everything. The clothes, furniture & appliances are trashed, the floors, drywall, insulation, etc. need to be replaced. This is what thousands of families in the Nashville area are facing. Many are living in homes that have striped down to the studs.
We can help! Gina Gilliam, of Gilliam & Associates Realty , has arranged for UPS Freight to donate a 28' truck. Jerry Gala, of Apex Autoworks, has donated an office space in his building for the collection & storage of donations. Once the donated items are collected, UPS Freight will drive them over to Nashville, TN & deliver them to the organizations that will distribute them to the charities.
All you need to do is gather the items you are donating & bring them to Apex Autoworks (1800 North Salem Street, Apex, NC 27502) between 10 am -3 pm, M-F until August 20th.
If those times don't work for you, contact Gina Gilliam at (919) 274-4462 or gbgilliam@earthlink.net to schedule an alternate day & time.
Alone we can not do much to make a difference, but together we can change lives! Drop off your donations TODAY!
