He didn't even have time to park the truck properly.

Folks like Beth Mastro of Liberty and Marilyn Costa of Grahamsville were waiting for him with bags of food and clothes.

"It's a wonderful thing, God bless you," said Costa as she left.

Eventually, the volunteers did get a chance to get set up. Mike Sakell of Thunder 102 draped the radio station's banner across the back of the truck, and Julian Dawson, administrative assistant for the United Way, stacked the offerings in the truck. And the bags kept coming.

In the store's lobby, other United Way staff gave shoppers lists of needed items and solicited cash donations. United Way board member Sari Rosenheck said, "I live in Rock Hill, and I heard someone say, 'Thank God it wasn't us,' and I thought, 'But it was us.' Sullivan County is a community."

The relief effort was organized in less than 24 hours by its sponsors, Schmidt's Wholesale, United Way, Thunder 102 and Wal-Mart. Anyone who wasn't able to get over to Wal-Mart can bring donations of gently used clothing (new socks and underwear) and nonperishable food to the United Way building at 33 Lakewood Ave. in Monticello.
