Following a two-week district donation drive, State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Howard Beach) recently shipped 11 boxes of much-needed supplies to North Carolina to help State Sen. Bill Rabon (R-Southport) and his constituents recover from Hurricane Florence.
Rabon’s 8th Senatorial District—Brunswick, Bladen, New Hanover, and Pender counties—in particular was pummeled by the storm. His own home and veterinary office were completely destroyed.
“Our local communities really came through to help out those in need after Hurricane Florence ravaged parts of North Carolina,” Addabbo said. “It was inspiring to see so many of my constituents drop off supplies. It was great that we were able to pay forward the help that we received from all over after we were hit by Superstorm Sandy. I truly want to thank everyone who donated.”
