Our Story
We are a group of former and current Law Enforcement officers and Veterans that provide support and relief to those in need. Founded in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey struck the Houston Area in Texas. We had a friend that grew up locally in NJ and currently resided in Houston when Hurricane Harvey made landfall. Watching the devastation of his home area and trying to figure out how he was going to get home, we decided to collect donations that he could take back home with him. This grew to the size where he wound up needing a 26 foot box truck to take all the supplies.
This year we continued the momentum of the previous donation drive and decided to spring into action again when Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina. We wound up collecting supplies and driving a truck to Oriental North Carolina. We delivered these donations directly to the town and provided some of the only support they received immediately following the storm.
Two weeks after we returned from North Carolina, mother nature decided she wasn't done yet for the season. Hurricane Michael hit the Florida Pan Handle as a Category 4 Hurricane and completely devastated the Mexico Beach and Panama City area. We were once again able to fill a truck with donations and hit the road again for Florida. Upon our arrival to Florida we were able to stay for a couple of days and help the crews that went into Panama City to distribute the supplies and help residents clear out debris from their properties. This was some of the worst destruction we have ever seen.
While we are not on the road helping areas hit by natural disasters we can be found in our local community of Cape May County helping out those during times of crisis and hardships.
