The efforts to help aren’t ending with monetary support. Two trucks full of relief items left BBF’s northside warehouse on Monday.

One truck filled with over 38,000 bottles will go to Ashville, North Carolina. The other filled with water, Boost Nutritional Drink and hygiene kits will go to Macon, Georgia.

BBF officials say they’re still looking to offer support in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia.

Additional supply shipments will include items like blankets, diapers, PPE and cleaning products donated through partners like Giant Eagle and Highmark/AHN. BBF is also working with UPMC physicians to assess the mental health impact of the storm and provide oxygen containers for the elderly.

And, the organization is also keeping an eye on another potentially dangerous storm, Hurricane Milton, which was upgraded to a Category 5 storm on Monday and is expected to impact the Tampa area.
