Local breweries holding a donation drive for people in need in Boone

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Brunswick Beer and Cider and Wrightsville Beach Brewery are collecting donations to send to Boone to help with the storm.

They started accepting donations on Sunday morning, and even more donations came in Monday.

Tuesday, several vehicles, including a truck from 2 Men and a Truck were packed with donations headed towards people in need.

General manager Ian Phillips, who is from Boone, talked about how the donation drive is going. “You know we put the call out; we were expecting, you know, to be able to fill a couple of trailers, but never did we think we’d be approaching 18-wheeler territory.”
“Monday essentially filled every nook and cranny of this brewery as well as Wrightsville Beach. And response for hauling has been overwhelming.”

If you want to donate, you can still drop off donations to Megacorp until 5:00 pm Tuesday.
