Students and parents of Unity Christian High School contribute to the pile of donations for Hurricane Harvey victims.
(Orange City) — Unity Christian High School of Orange City is joining the ranks of increasing number of organizations accepting donations to be directed to Texas
for relief from Hurricane Harvey. Wayne Dykstra, serves as the Head of Schools for Unity Christian. He says the idea came from a parent who owns a semi truck and trailer.
Dykstra says the donations will be distributed to a Baptist church located in Sugarland, Texas. Dykstra says there are some Unity Christian alumni living in the hurricane affected area, and offered suggestions as to the type of donations most needed.
Dykstra says the semi truck and trailer is scheduled to leave northwest Iowa on Tuesday.
The Unity Christian school official says the semi truck and trailer will be parked at the football game on Friday evening encouraging fans to donate to the hurricane relief program.
News about Unity Christian’s efforts to collect donations has spread throughout the town of Orange City. Dykstra says churches, businesses, industries, and students and faculty from Northwestern College are also contributing to the cause. Dykstra says he has been surprised at the response from the initial idea
of giving.
