Eric Reif's mother lives in New Jersey. As he drove to her house after Hurricane Sandy hit, he couldn't help but notice how everything was dark. He heard nothing but the sound of generators running everywhere.
He wondered, what could he do to help?
At a celebration of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church's 100th anniversary, he mentioned something about that to his church family and things began to be put into motion. In no time at all, his son's Cub Scout Pack 41 of Palmerton, issued a plea for donations of clothing, cleaning items, food and water for the victims of Sandy.
