Nationwide — Early Walker, owner of Chicago-based W&W Towing, was joined by Custom Companies Trucking Firm, 34th Ward Alderman Carrie M. Austin, Bishop Larry Trotter, Bloom Township Democratic Committeewoman Lori Wilcox, Olympia Fields Trustee Desiree Watkins, and other public officials when they formally announced county-wide water, juice, and non-perishable items drop-off campaign.
The items were received, packaged, and transported to specific areas of Dallas, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee that were negatively impacted by the recent winter storms.
Mr. Walker had been flooded with calls and cries for help within the state of Texas. There had been reports of numerous deaths due to the lack of electricity throughout much of the state, and civic leaders in Dallas began bringing awareness to the fact that thousands of Dallas area residents were without food and water as well as other basic quality of life needs.
“As Americans, we can’t stand idle and watch our fellow Americans in Dallas and Memphis endure such abnormal living conditions. The last thing any American should be concerned about is food and water. We have to move fast,” said Mr. Walker.
