The volunteers from the Church of the Highlands divided into groups in order to clear yards for widows, single mothers, the elderly and folks with medical conditions. In this group are, from the left, Ronald Wyres, Todd and Chere Fulmer, Kerry Thach, Chris Pumphrey, Dusty Douglas and Josh Hillman, all from Birmingham. Hillman was the group’s leader.
When a disaster relief team from the Church of the Highlands arrived in Greenwood on Feb. 4, they brought scores of volunteers, fleets of trucks and equipment of all types and sizes to accomplish one purpose.
That was to help as many people as possible who were overly burdened by the effects of the Jan. 25 ice storm.
