“These people basically just have the clothes on their backs,” said Derek Mann, Marketing Director for the Perna Team. “With this happening when it did, they have very little left, if anything at all. We’re trying to do everything in our power to help them out, get some supplies down to them and try to at least help them as much as we can.”

Corrigan Moving Systems in Brighton has also donated a truck and a driver to transport the donations to Kentucky, with the goal of completely filling the entire 52-foot semi with supplies.

Donations can be dropped off to any of the following Keller Williams locations:

--39500 Orchard Hill PI, Novi, MI 48375 (Friday & Saturday, Dec. 17 & 18,
10 a.m.- 4 p.m.)

--423 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48067 (Friday, Dec. 17, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.)

--2150 Pless Dr #7a, Brighton, MI 48114 (Friday Dec. 17, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.)
