For the last week, Deatra and her co-workers at Permian Regional Medical Center have been collecting items for the damaged Panhandle community.

After bringing a truckload of items late last week, she was set to return with more.

“I can't wait to go back and see the people and how much has changed in such a short amount of time,” Harper said. “Hear their thoughts and see how things have built on from where we were last week.

From perish to plentiful, people from around the united states have come to the panhandle to donate their time, money, and gifts… to a community in need.

One week has made a significant difference., and supervisor for Gray county Jimmy Gatlin says people from as far as New York have come to Pampa to help… and the local community is overwhelmed by the support.

“It's mindboggling we've had so many people come from so far away to come and help,” Gatlin reflected.

Gray county commissioner and safety officer Gary Willoughby says people have even been showing up when he least expects them.

“We had people come in the middle of the night, 10pm at night and ask if we have extra muscle,” said Willoughby. “We watch a girl reach in there with one hand on each sack and throw feed at it and smile and the men showed up.”

If you’d like support with donations, contact Deatra at PRMC or leave your items in the trailer parked outside their front door.
