The ACHS Cheer and Volleyball programs teamed up on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to prepare enough food for more than 100 people.
One large pan was delivered to Glenwood Baptist Church, which is currently serving as a shelter for nearly 100 people in Marion, NC. A smaller pan was delivered to the Woodlawn-Sevier Fire Department, as they have been instrumental in rescuing people from North Cove and Little Switzerland, some of the areas hardest hit by the storm.
