Help from the heartland. Sig Ep joins in
Residents acted by filling 10 semis in two days with water, food, baby items, cleaning supplies, generators, and chain saws. From Iowa, the trucks will travel to Indiana to Feed the Children, the nonprofit organization that partnered with Z102.9, which will then distribute the items to hurricane victims.
The local relief effort attracted a wide variety of volunteers from the Iowa City area.
One volunteer wrapped pallets in plastic wrap. She pitched in help because her sister attends Tulane University in New Orleans, she said.
The trucks were loaded by 10 members of the UI fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon.
