In response to Hurricane Milton’s impact on the southeastern United States, businesses across Delmarva are mobilizing to provide aid.
According to an article published by Delmarva Now, Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground in Selbyville, Delaware, has joined forces with East Coast Campers and other organizations to gather hurricane relief donations.
Their collaborative efforts have resulted in two fully loaded trucks being sent to North Carolina, with a third truck scheduled to deliver supplies to the Cajun Navy Relief Organization in Erwin, Tennessee.
As relief efforts continue, a fourth truck is being prepared at Holt Paper Company in Salisbury, with the possibility of stopping at the RV park for additional items if necessary.
The campground features over 1,000 campsites, with waterfront views and essential amenities such as water, electric, sewer, and cable TV hookups. Guests can enjoy hot showers in the bathhouses and access a convenient dumping station on-site.
In addition to Treasure Beach RV Park and Campground and East Coast Campers’ donation efforts, CR3 American Exteriors of Delmarva spearheads a relief drive, collaborating with local enterprises to set up donation points throughout the area. The company has acknowledged the generous response from residents, who have been filling trucks with essential supplies.
Donations will be accepted until October 14 at various locations. Needed items include trash bags, cleaning supplies, plastic tarps, toiletries, pet food, hand sanitizer, first-aid kits, and work gloves. However, clothing, blankets, and perishable foods are not currently required.
CR3 American Exteriors of Delmarva emphasized prioritizing items with the most significant impact during this critical period.
The Blood Bank of Delmarva (BBD) also issued an urgent call for blood donors to ensure an adequate supply for hospitals in affected areas and meet ongoing local needs. Severe weather in the Southeast has led to the closure of numerous blood centers, cancellation of scheduled drives, and restricted donor access.
