Pennsylvania Amish To The Rescue

According to the High Country Press , members of an Amish community in Central Pennsylvania heard about the devastation left behind by the hurricane when a local resident visited Western North Carolina and returned to tell the tale. They then reached out to Andy Owens, who had established a base camp in the Meat Camp Area of Watauga County. Owens helped to coordinate the project but the Amish were the ones who collected money, supplies, and laborers and volunteered themselves to the Boone, NC community. 62 men, women, and children made the trip by bus, followed by five trailers filled with building supplies, tools, and equipment. (In general, the Amish avoid using modern technology but there are various exceptions and work arounds which I assume the used to serve the greater good). They arrived around noon on Tuesday, December 17th and immediately got to work, having eight (!) housing structures erected by 5pm that day. https://twitter.com/Liberty_Xtreme/status/1873861198405419096 While the men and boys worked construction, the women and girls prepared and served food, as well as passed out pallets of toys and clothing they had brought to those in need. https://twitter.com/angelanashtn/status/1852042183718609241 By the time the Amish loaded back onto the bus the following evening (less than 2 days after arriving), all 12 structures donated by an Amish-owned business were completed, only needing the finishing touches of electric work and the like to have them fully ready to go. The Amish also brought and left behind 20 propane tanks, many tools, and five pallets of fire department supplies for local rescue workers. All in all, Andy Ownes believe the total cost was around $300,000, every penny of which was furnished by the Amish.
