Discover the transformative power of community resilience and support in the latest episode of the American Towing Recovery Institute podcast. Join me, DJ Harrington, and towing industry veteran Wes Wilburn, as we promise to equip you with vital insights into safety, education, and networking within the towing and recovery sector. Fresh from our enlightening training session in Medford, Oregon, we shine a spotlight on JT, a promising instructor contributing to our mission. Amidst the backdrop of recent hurricanes ravaging regions from Florida to Tennessee, our thoughts are with those rebuilding their lives. We also share the exciting lineup of upcoming training events on critical topics such as electric vehicles and heavy-duty towing.

Our heartfelt conversations pivot to a remarkable guest, Tabatha from Tabatha's Auto Towing in Hendersonville, North Carolina, whose inspiring story serves as a beacon of hope. After enduring a harrowing 13 days without power, Tabatha has launched a winter clothing drive to support families who have lost everything. Her initiative is a testament to the power of community efforts in times of adversity, addressing challenges like overcrowded shelters and limited FEMA assistance. With a focus on bridging gaps in support, we proudly commit to promoting Kat’s cause, underscoring the profound impact of local action.

Furthermore, we spotlight the commendable outreach work of Tabatha and her husband, who are harnessing the spirit of volunteerism in Hendersonville. Their program, dedicated to collecting clothing and essential items for those in makeshift shelters, exemplifies how individuals can bring about meaningful change. We also delve into logistical challenges in disaster relief, including the importance of ensuring displaced individuals can still exercise their right to vote. As we rally support for these initiatives, our episode offers an earnest appeal to help communities in need, ensuring dignity and basic necessities for children returning to school.
