During the 2024 Convoy of Honor, patriots from across the country came together to collect donations for a special mission — bringing an Ozark Mountain Christmas to Erwin, Tennessee, a community deeply affected by Hurricane Helene.

At the time, Steve Spurgeon of USA Superheroes — a non-profit group proudly supported by Convoy of Honor — was already on the ground in Erwin. By day, he helped with cleanup and rebuilding efforts; by night, he performed to uplift and encourage the community.

COH founder Mona Miller awoke one night with a clear conviction that this was a calling the Convoy of Honor had to answer. On November 12, a semi-truck driven by Bruce Levings departed Branson, Missouri, loaded with donations bound for Erwin. With Bruce leading the way, several Convoy of Honor patriots joined the journey.

Along the way, additional stops brought even more blessings — including boxes of new Bibles and commercial-grade dishware. The final stop was Walmart in Unicoi, Tennessee, where patriots from various parts of the country had donated food for a full Christmas dinner, board games, and gifts for local families.

Thanks to the heart and generosity of so many, Erwin received not just supplies, but a meaningful reminder that they are not forgotten.
