SUMMARY: A crew from Diamond Head is heading to Hudson, North Carolina, delivering much-needed relief after Hurricane Helim with two truckloads of donations. Organizer Michael Cassano expresses gratitude for the overwhelming community support, especially from Derek Nikas, co-owner of Ni’s Family Market, who mobilized efforts following his own experiences with past hurricanes. The team emphasizes the harsh realities of disaster recovery and the importance of helping affected communities. They plan to continue making trips to support those in need, acknowledging that while many donate, organizing and executing delivery efforts is particularly challenging and vital.
