Just want to update everyone about WNC. This is my experience... there is no real need for any clothes, water, food, or household items. The only real need is fuel and energy. Bakersville residents are looking at April for power. They have been given small generators that will run a fridge and a couple lights. They really need heat and gas for cooking. I will continue to go up and take them those needed supplies as long as the need is there and finances allow. The people I've met are EXTREMELY grateful and wanted me to relay their appreciation to everyone! These are needed items:
Kerosene
Kerosene heaters
Propane (small and large)
Propane heaters
Propane camping grills
Generators
Im having good luck at getting deals on some of this stuff, so me buying in bulk really helps
Kerosene $4/gal
Gas $2.63/gal
1lb propane $4.25
20lb propane including tank $40
If you'd like to help, it will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance. Feel free to share
