When the members of Just People — a Georgia-based nonprofit that supports adults with developmental disabilities — came down to visit Ormond Beach, they fell in love. So after hearing about the impact Hurricane Matthew left on the city and its residents, they wanted to give back.

Together, the members gathered enough water bottles, food, generators, and clean up supplies to almost fill an entire trailer to the top, and Krista Goodrich, owner of Masterpiece Mixers, drove it down to Ormond Beach Oct. 8. Just People visited Masterpiece Mixers Ormond Beach during their trip and had a blast with owner Thays Pagani França.

"They wanted to help us," she said. "So we had some supplies at Masterpiece Mixers for people to come get for free, and we gave some to some families we knew who needed it. And then we took the rest to Halifax Urban Ministries."
