Their mission is to alleviate poverty and bring relief to disaster areas in West Virginia. ROOT International made three trips with trailer loads of furniture, bedding, household items, small appliances and many other goods which were very much appreciated, and would end up in one of the 25 counties they serve. Your monetary donation helped pay for diesel fuel and a lunch for our driver and volunteers who went along to unload the trailer. Thank you. Back to Grove City College For the past three years Erica Damcott gave of her time and talents to speathead the student donation drive at Grove City College. She graduated in May, and we want to thank her for all ‘the support she gave ROOT International during those years. Our thanks also go to the stu- dents. For the past six years ROOT International has been collecting household items, appli- ances, food and furniture which would otherwise end up in the dumpsters. These donations are given to organizations we support in PA, Ohio, West Virginia, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and Mexico. It has made a difference in the lives of the people they help. We are making plans to contact other colleges in the area and will be looking to build a warehouse in Mercer, PA.
