Pastor Berry said a fraction of these supplies came from the Miami Valley.

“I’ve gotten calls from, like, Eaton, over toward Dayton, but then, you know, really around the country. I’ve been talking to people in North Carolina, and you know, Kentucky, Michigan,” he said. “It’s been really neat to see all the states around even step up to help us.

Berry said that many supplies are coming in, but a lot are going out.

He added that they need supplies and buckets.

Cambridge City Church said in a social media post that they are getting low on food.

“We also now have a semi-sized refrigeration truck available for cold food items. Food donations can be brought to the ministry center any time before 11:00 p.m.” the social media post said.
