A fuel truck is providing gas at Greenville Elementary School, 729 SW Overstreet, beginning at noon, Sun., Sept. 3. The state determines where and when fuel trucks are located and mandates that the fuel trucks move once power is restored to avoid damaging private businesses. Sheriff Harper has managed to accommodate this fuel delivery at the school, which is away from any gas stations.
Important message from the Sheriff
The free fuel trucks are directly from state officials. There are guidelines that should have been followed for proper and safe delivery including deployment. The issue was created when there was no communication from the state regarding the locations and arrival. Regardless of what state requirements are imposed, as your Sheriff I give you my word our Greenville Community will receive free fuel.

Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, is distributing a truckload of hurricane relief supplies within a community that was hit by Hurricane Idalia in the Big Bend area.
Staff and volunteers are handing out supplies at The Bridge in Madison before heading out into the community, knocking door-to-door to deliver essential supplies and solar lights while making connections to assess and meet the growing needs of families who are working to get back on their feet after the storm. Better Together mobilized a similar relief effort following Hurricane Ian in Southwest Florida and was instrumental in supporting families with much-needed supplies and support.
With a mission to strengthen families and prevent the need for foster care, Better Together offers volunteer host families who can provide safe, loving temporary housing for the children of families displaced by the storm. Knowing their kids have the care they need, parents and guardians can focus on finding housing and securing their financial situation to maintain a safe environment for their children. The program is voluntary, and parents never lose legal custody of their children.
Better Together is partnering with the Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) to meet the needs of Big Bend families. Vetted, background-checked volunteers are standing by to help.
WHERE: The Bridge. 1135 E. U.S. 90 Madison, FL 32340
