Delivering meals along her route

U.S. Mail carrier Katie Doyle delivered some hot meals along with the mail after Hurricane Idalia made landfall.

Doyle knows of several households along her route that have residents who are elderly and shut in after Hurricane Idalia downed trees and damaged infrastructure in the area. When she saw that the Red Cross was giving out hot meals from an emergency vehicle parked at a community center in Greenville, she pulled over and picked up several meals to bring to the shut-in residents along her route.

“Thank you for doing what you do,” Doyle said to Red Cross volunteer Diane Webber, as she accepted a bag of meal containers packed with pork chops and green beans.
