Never let it be said that Delaware County does not answer the call when the need is great.
The nation has endured two devastating hurricanes.
First the Houston area in Texas was hammered by Hurricane Harvey.
Then Irma rumbled across the Keys and South Florida.
Perhaps most devastating of all, Puerto Rico remains in the dark, without power and many of the necessities of life a week after Hurricane Maria laid a direct hit on the island.
As always, Delco opened its heart - and wallets - to those in need.
People like Mike McIntyre of Proaction Restoration in Ridley. He took a team of men and a truckload of supplies to Houston, then instead of coming home, took a detour to Florida to help there.
Then he made a quick jaunt home before loading up another truck and heading back to the Florida Keys.
This morning a lot of people gathered at Philadelphia International Airport for a mission of mercy to Puerto Rico.
Staff Writer Kathleen Carey is there to record what they are doing - and what they are taking with them.
In the meantime, our editorial salutes this kind of community spirit.
Call it Delco Proud!
