This sign on Dec. 5, 2022, reminds people in Moore County, N.C., near the town of Carthage, that there is an overnight curfew in effect due to a blackout that started on Dec. 3 when someone used a gun or guns to heavily damage two electrical substations. Most of the county was affected. Repairs to restore power are not expected to be complete until Thursday, Dec. 8.

The Salvation Army of the Sandhills is part of the efforts to help people in Moore County affected by the attacks on the power substations Saturday that left tens of thousands without power.

Your donations to the Bill Shaw Salvation Army Christmas Fund are part of what makes that work possible.

“We are working closely with Moore County Emergency Management to ensure that our resources are provided when and where they are needed most,” Norman Zanders, Emergency Disaster Services coordinator with the Salvation Army of the Sandhills, said in a news release. “Partnering with organizations such as Baptist Men and Methodist Men’s Mission allows us to provide relief for a larger number of individuals in need.”
