John barr aids in hurricane relief

John Barr in North Carolina

TCI’s John Barr headed to North Carolina to volunteer after the devastation left by Hurricane Helene.  He brought with him a check from TCI to help the local fire department with relief efforts.

“People have lost their place of employment, their homes, their cars, and unfortunately, for some, they’ve lost their lives.”

Barr has a personal connection.  His sister who lives in North Carolina narrowly escaped damage to her property, but six neighboring homes were destroyed, bridges were swept away, and rivers rose over 30 feet, causing unimaginable damage.

John worked side by side with other volunteers from the community, local businesses and people from other areas of the country who came to help.  The impact of the storm, and the destruction it has caused, is incalculable.

“People have gone above and beyond to help, whether it’s through financial support, physical labor, or just showing up for others. The needs are so great, and we’re all just trying to do our part.”
