Donations to help people devastated by Hurricane Floyd rolled into Jacquie Bacon's office through Oct. 8.

The final tally included $940 in financial contributions to the Red Cross hurricane relief fund and numerous bags of clothing, children's toys and books, cleaning supplies and a variety of household items.

The money contributions have been sent to the American Red Cross office in Hampton. J.K. Hill & Assoc. donated a truck and labor costs to pack up and deliver all of the other donations to Yorktown Naval Weapons Station on Oct. 9. Donations from across Hampton Roads were delivered to Yorktown for transport to areas devastated by the hurricane.

"I want to thank everyone who helped out after the devastation and destruction of Hurricane Floyd," Bacon said. A special thanks to John Hicks and J.K. Hill for delivering the truckload of items to Yorktown on a Saturday morning, and to the Eurest staff and Marty Hightower for their help in collecting donations.
