Here are excerpts from the All Saints' website during the local relief effort.

1. The devastated area of NC has sent out a plea for flashlights, lanterns, batteries, camp stoves, and propane cylinders.   A donation drop-off site is at the front  double doors of the Parish Hall at All Saints' Episcopal Church, 505 Calvert Avenue, Clinton.  Someone will go by regularly and take items inside.
