Devastating. Heartrending. Catastrophic. Unimaginable. Life as some people have known it is destroyed and, in some cases, life is gone forever. Yet disasters happen. People lose homes, livelihoods, neighborhoods, security, family mementos. That is when friends, neighbors and, yes, even complete strangers pack up what they can and head to the disaster area. And that is exactly what so many people and organizations in Union County did. Citizens collected what was needed, gave what they could and transported supplies to where they were most needed. Some were Christian. Some were not.
