FAIRLEA -

An organization from the south has come to Greenbrier County to provide free, hot meals for people without power.

The North Carolina Baptist Men have brought the largest mobile feeding kitchen in the world to Fairlea Baptist Church.

Lunch will be served each day from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., followed by a dinner served from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

For those who cannot make it to Fairlea, the American Red Cross is transporting meals to six surrounding counties.

Shower units are also available at Fairlea Baptist Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day.

They ask each person using a shower to bring their own towel and toiletries.

The organization plans to be in Fairlea until all power is restored.
