3 Cleveland Organizations work together to provide hurricane relief

BRADLEY COUNTY, Tenn. (WDEF)- ScaleTrains, Community Fellowship Church, and Operation Blessing partnered together to help assist Tennesseans affected by Hurricane Helene.

 “We got together with Operation Blessing, we have been working with them for a while, and asked them if they would want to spot a trailer here at our warehouse, and then reached out to Community Fellowship Church for monetary donations, and then said let’s do that.It all worked out,’ said Shane Wilson, President of Scale Trains 

Folks across Bradley County donated various items to help victims in need. 

 Items include Cleaning supplies, First aid, and non perishable food, along with thousands of dollars.

 Wilson  believes its important to give back to community members

 “This is something that is not too far from us. It is really in our backyard and community. We have to support each other. We have to take care of each other, and when times are challenging, here is an opportunity for us to step up, not only as a company, but as our team, our employees, as well as involving our local community to help support those in need too,’ said Wilson 

 Wilson considers it a blessing to see Bradley County work together to help others. 

 “It is important to us because that is who we are as a company, and that is the values we live with our team every single day,” said Wilson. “So we just want to make sure that we are doing our part to assist and do what little bit it is. But you know, When we all work together, it’s all comes together, and that becomes a big help.” 

 According to Wilson, every donation impacts someone’s life, 

 There is still plenty of time to donate. You know, we do not want to forget those folks. It has already been a week, and they are still recovering. A lot of folks still do not have electricity, do not have water, those kinds of things,” Wilson said. “So, continue to give if you are able to and if you are not able to give, give them your prayers. They will certainly appreciate that and would appreciate that blessing as well.”
