I’ve always believed that disasters bring out the best in people.

Shelli Trench visited the local Walmart to buy supplies for people affected by Hurricane Florence. She dropped off some water and diapers at the shelter at Garner Magnet High School. While she was there, she asked them what their greatest need was and their response was T-shirts. They have people coming from all over and they can offer them hot showers but they don’t have clean clothes for them. So they need T-shirts and underwear.

She had $50 that she could spend so she headed to the only store open—the Walmart. She went in and asked for a manager, hoping he would give her some kind of discount to make that money go further.

Instead, she got a blessing. When Jeff Jobes, the manager on duty, heard about the plight of the people at the shelter, he didn't give her a discount. Instead, he armed her with one of his associates Alex and a shopping cart and told her to fill it. That was $1,251 in all. Later she was able to deliver 254 items of clothing to the evacuees at the Garner High shelter because Jeff loves his community and he proved it with his actions.

But Jeff wasn’t done yet. The next morning when Shelli woke up, she saw the text from Jeff: How is everything this morning? Need anything?

So Shelli drove to the shelter and asked them what they needed and they gave her a list. Then Shelli texted the list to Jeff and his response was: Give me 30 minutes, then come to see me. When Shelli got to the store, Jeff and his co-manager Kelly were busy pulling together the items that were requested. My car was loaded to the top. The outpouring of love and support from the Walmart in Garner is unbelievable.
