Nolichucky Blooms complete projects at Helene impacted homes
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The David Crockett High School Future Farmers of America's (FFA) Nolichucky Blooms first on-site project took place on Wednesday.
Through Nolichucky Blooms, students and volunteers help with planting and mulching needs around homes impacted by Hurricane Helene.
'We're getting together all these plants, we've got donations, we've got sponsors, we have a lot of sponsors, and the community has come together,' Journey Higgins, with Nolichucky Blooms, said. 'We're taking these plants that have been donated and planting them at houses that were affected by the flood.'
On Wednesday, the group started at the home of Gary Cloyd, Steven Cloyd's brother.
'This is one of our things we wanted to focus on was helping the emotional aspect,' Higgins said. 'These people have been through so much, but most importantly, we want to see their spirits uplifted. It's more also just about a spiritual and emotional connection with these people as well.'
