Sheriff Singleton reports on North Carolina disaster delivery

HOPE – Deputies left Tuesday enroute to North Carolina with all the donated items from Hempstead County citizens. They unloaded Wednesday morning at The Compassionate Care Hospice & Counseling service of Western North Carolina, in Burnsville, North Carolina.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who donated items for the relief efforts in Western North Carolina. And a special thanks to David Atkin and Red River Wrecker Service for the loan of a trailer to keep donated items in until we could get them delivered to Sheriff Donald Street of Mitchell County, North Carolina and Vern Grindstaff CEO of Compassionate Care of Western Carolina.

I am proud of Hempstead County Deputies Lupe Beccera, Marla Gullion, Inv. Jeremy Mc Bride, and Captain Justin Crane for volunteering to make the trip to aid the people of North Carolina. Please pray for a safe journey back to Hempstead County. And continue to pray for the people that were affected by the hurricane and floods in North Carolina and other states.

“IN GOD WE TRUST”
James Singleton, Sheriff
