CC program transports relief to hurricane victims

The Clarendon College Pampa Center CDL team recently undertook a mission to deliver essential supplies to hurricane victims in North Carolina and Florida.

CDL Director Casey Upton collaborated with CC President Tex Buckhaults, who approved the plan. Working with organizations such as Rancher Navy, Biguns Hope Disaster Relief, the Pampa VFW, and local churches, the team gathered and transported two semi-trailer loads.

Upton, along with instructor Bill Tandy and students Diana Lopez, Omid Jafari, Kevenson Jean, and David Arreola, drove 2,600 miles across five states, gaining valuable experience. They picked up supplies in Pampa and headed to Miami, Okla., to pick up the rest of the supplies before heading to Milton, Florida, to drop off the supplies for Florida and North Carolina.

The students appreciated this opportunity to be able to help our neighbors and fellow Americans from other states.Courtesy Photo
