Ironworkers Rally to Deliver 48,000 Pounds of Hurricane Relief Supplies to Rural Communities

When Hurricane devastation struck rural areas in East Tennessee and North Carolina, two Barnhart ironworkers—Johnny Pratt and Hopper Sloane—took action. What started as a simple idea to send water quickly turned into a massive grassroots relief effort. In just 12 hours, they gathered thousands of pounds of supplies, mobilized their community, and transformed their workplace into a donation hub.

Watch how this incredible team collected and delivered over 48,000 pounds of hurricane relief supplies—from bottled water and canned food to cleaning products and pet food—to families in hard-to-reach mountain towns. With the help of local churches, mechanics, and businesses, their mission became a lifeline for many.
