The Bright Side: Trevor to Greenfield

Trucker Trevor, I know you've done so many of these with with Willie Ray, whether it's been tornadoes or blizzards or the derecho, of course, was the first that Willie Ray got involved in and then went from there

to tornado events previous to this.

The historic floods in Eastern Kentucky.

We've been to, you know, after the historic winter storms in Texas.

This is where we started doing this.

Yeah.

Good people.

Now you're off to Greenfield, Iowa tomorrow morning, right?

Yes.

I mean, something like that in Iowa.

I had a conversation with Willie immediately and we decided that one way or the other, we were going to try and have to do something.

I'm going to set up this relief effort with a few volunteers that have done a few of these in the past with me.

And then we'll be heading to Greenfield early tomorrow morning, setting up at St.

John's Catholic Church, kind of the center hub for donations and relief efforts.

And we're going to start doing our thing and hopefully do several hundred meals a day or more that we can give out there locally or we can prepare and they can take out into the community for the relief efforts and the anybody and everybody that needs a free hot meal.

And you were talking about the fact that it's Memorial Day weekend and they may have just.

thousands of people coming in to help with the relief efforts.

Yeah, I've been talking to people over in that area, emergency management in touch with the sheriff's department over there and the pastor at the Catholic Church.

And they expect hundreds and hundreds of volunteers since it's a holiday weekend.

And they need a way to feed people.

There's a lot of areas that still without power.

Plus they were hit with straight line winds of reported 75 mile an hour this morning.

So I don't know what it did to the power sources again over there.

But I mean.

So they're depending on people like you.

Here you are, not just giving up your Memorial Day weekend, but Monday's your birthday.

So you're doing all of this out of the kindness of your heart on a long weekend, your birthday on Monday.

It's

Memorial Day.

I myself am a veteran.

It means a lot to me for Memorial Day.

And my birthday just happens to be on Memorial Day this weekend.

But I wouldn't be doing anything else other than what I'm going to be doing this weekend because it just brings joy to my heart because I see what it

Brings to other people that really are in a need and yeah, if you can see the the gratification the gratefulness of the people that we serve This is you know why I do what I do
