Rochester Business Collecting Items For Their Co-Workers and Community Members Impacted By Hurricane Helene

This past summer, Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota felt the wrath of Mother Nature as flooding took over our landscape.  As clean-up began, communities came together to help one another and donations were an integral part of getting through the toughest days.

Crenlo Engineered Cabs, a Rochester, Minnesota business, is stepping up to lend a hand to do just that for those impacted by Hurricane Helene.  It's not just a random town that they are helping though, it is for their co-workers and their loved ones in Greeneville, Tennessee.
