Kindness came in the form of gift cards for storm victims in Navassa

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Some Navassa residents impacted by Hurricane Florence were given gift cards to help get them back on their feet.

The Brunswick County Lions Club provided $750 dollars worth of Lowe’s Improvement gift cards to Navassa in portions of $25 and $50.

When Navassa Mayor Eulis Willis found out about the donation, he created a list of about 20 people who needed the most help.

They got to pick the gift cards out of a box to keep it fair.

Pastor Alonza Davis received a gift card. He says he hopes this will help with the recovery effort.

“I’ve got two bedrooms messed up, the church, it also got messed up, the top, and also the pastoral office,” Davis said. “It was just totally destroyed.”

Irwin Siegelwax with the lions club says they also provided gift cards to Leland residents and plan to start a lions club chapter in Leland in early 2019.
