After the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast of the United States, communities in the northern suburbs of Illinois joined forces to donate batteries, blankets, cleaning supplies, coats, clothes, diapers, and shoes to the victims of the disaster. All supplies were donated by the families of Temple Beth-El in Northbrook, IL and Temple Jeremiah in Northfield, IL. Both students and their parents boxed and labeled items which were loaded into the donated semi-truck.
The semi-truck was donated by CR Transport which was contacted by Aaron Equipment Company who has done business with CR Transport for many years. Once the truck was fully loaded, it headed to Aberdeen, New Jersey. The entire donation project and shipment took about week to gather all of the goods and ship them to Aberdeen. A special thanks goes out to everyone who took the time to contribute to helping out the families that were left in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
