Rev. Jeff Page passes a load of water to Charlie Adams as they load a pickup and trailer bound for Pigeon Forge for the relief effort in the wake of the disastrous wildfires there. McMinnville Church of God is one of several local churches and organizations collecting donations.
With the catastrophic effects of this week’s fire that consumed hundreds of homes and lodges in Gatlinburg, churches and organizations from Warren County have sprung into action to help.“It’s just heartbreaking,” said Rev. Jeff Page, pastor of McMinnville Church of God on Locust Street as he and church members loaded a trailer full of supplies bound for the devastated area Thursday. “We want to help those in need and there’s a real need in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area after that horrible tragedy.” Page said he put out a call to church members Tuesday and by afternoon there was a trailer full of supplies ranging from non-perishable food and water to toiletry items, toys, clothes and bedding.
