We were so thankful when Hurricane Ike hit the Houston area for all the help we were sent. A friend of mine would ride around with a big cooler in her car with ice and cold water and soft drinks. When she could, she would pull over and offer them to the workers. What a wonderful way to say thank you and they were all appreciative. Hopefully we will not go through this again for a LONG time but if we do, I will definitely fill a cooler for my car also!
Oh, she also offered them to police officers who were out doing traffic duty also.
