A local effort is underway to send some relief supplies to a hard hit area of New Jersey. October 29th, Superstorm Sandy battered the US Eastcoast with a flooding storm surge that has left coastal communities devastated. Tillsonburg resident Brian Stevenson says he placed some phone calls to start a relief effort. "We are in the best country in the world and we also have the best neighbours in the world in the United States. And they did get hit hard, so I called Scott Verspeeten with Verspeeten Cartage in Ingersoll and asked what it would take to get a truck to go to New Jersey. He called back the next day and said they'd do it for free, fuel, the driver, everything." Over the next week, you can drop off donations of winter clothing, blankets, personal hygiene items, and even non-perishable food items and cash to any local Salvation Army location. In Woodstock, they're asking that the donations be dropped off at the Salvation Army Church on Norwich Ave. at Juliana Drive. The truck will be loaded this coming weekend, and will take off a week from today, to the hard hit area of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Stevenson says, "This area we're helping was not very affluent before, and they were really hit hard by this."
