THANK YOU!

Earlier today, STJFD staff delivered the U-Haul FULL of supplies to a distribution center in Greenville County. Over the last two days, our community was able to fill a 26’ U-Haul. This included a donated generator, dozens of cases of water, countless number of hygiene products and cleaning supplies.

“We cannot thank the outpouring of support from our community enough. It is a testament to the strength of our own community on how we rally for those in need. We asked you to step up and you very much showed up for our friends in the update. Thank you from all of the members at St. John’s Fire.” - Fire Chief Ryan Kunitzer

Our work will not stop however. We have been notified that with cooler temps moving in, there will be a need for coats, blankets, bedding, and warm clothes. We will announce our next drive to help in the near future.

Shout out of thanks to the three young men that showed up on Cannon Rd in Greer to selflessly come all this way and try to help remove massive trees and get our road open. God bless all of you and stay safe🙏🙏🙏
