Two donors help fill trailer for trips to hurricane-ravaged area

Lucy McCue of the Town of Belgium wanted to collect and deliver items to victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

She got more than she expected.

“I thought I’d be going down there with a pickup full of things and I wound up with a trailer that I could hardly get everything in,” she said.

Two major contributors filled the trailer — Paul and Julie Carufel of Belgium and the staff of Cedar Grove Veterinary Services.

Five people helped McCue load the trailer.

“Doctors were up in my truck trying to push things in,” McCue said. “That meant a lot.”
