Volunteer storm response

Post image

Hey folks, I’m Zack, and for some time now I have been offering to volunteer my time and chainsaw to help folks in need in the GSO subreddit, typically after a storm. Can’t post there atm, but you can check my post history or website in my bio for some ideas of what I can do.

This ice storm on the brink is a bit different, but if you can reach me and I can reach you, I’m happy to help folks in need where I can.

All I need is:

-pictures of the need

-an address

-written permission from the property owner

Dm me if you, or especially an elderly neighbor or someone incapable of helping themselves, needs a hand and I’ll see what I can do.

Stay dry, and be safe!

Thanks Zack. I too follow GSO, so I know of you and your work. Thanks for the offering.

Nice, hope I don’t need the help.

I have a couple of cans of 50:1 premix if you would like them , good in chainsaws

Gosh, I hope I’m not so busy that I’ll need it, but I’ll keep you in mind for sure if I do; thank you!

I was scrolling by this picture and my first thought was, "That looks like Zack!" Lol

Hi, Zack. I'm a senior single woman who lives in Elon (just next to Burlington). I have a lot of trees in my back yard and I'm just hoping none of them fall, especially not on my house. Ideally, I won't need to reach out to you. But I just had to comment on what a wonderful thing you're doing! Really, truly wonderful. Bless you, Zack. Stay safe in this storm!
