Volunteers across the region are coming together to help victims of Hurricane Helene, doing everything from collecting supplies to helping pets impacted by the devastating storm.
Giannone Companies Towing in Collegeville has transformed its lot into a drop-off site. The team is collecting emergency supplies to bring down to North Carolina.
"They're hooked up with companies down there that are actually flying things into Asheville and other areas that are just pretty much just wiped off the map at this point," said Giannone."What you see here is what we have collected since we began at about 11:30 a.m.," said Peter Hartney, the president of Surf City Volunteer Fire and EMS.
The help is extending from the shore to the Main Line, where the PSPCA has rescued nine dogs from a shelter in Tennessee impacted by the storm.
