Governor Cooper and his staff put together a Day of Service to remember Matthew’s visit one year ago. 5 sites were chosen to be work sites. Close to 100 people showed up to help rebuild in Lumberton. The Governor his wife and daughter helped hang sheet rock at a home on Oregon Street. The rest of the windows were also replaced.
Governor Cooper tried to personally thank each volunteer for their help to rebuild Lumberton. Mike Sprayberry was also in Lumberton and did his part at helping out. One of the groups was from a local high school. Their teacher plans to bring them back several times so he can teach them basic building skills. This will help us out a lot as well as the students being able to learn skills.
The rebuild project in Lumberton is like most other disasters. Once the news media leaves the rest of the public believes all is done and help goes away but we are still here and can use your help.
