Railroad workers aid Honduran hurricane victims
Illinois Central Railroad employees in Homewood organized a relief effort for Honduras after Hurricane Mitch. Cliff Williams and church members collected food clothing and medical supplies to be shipped to Cortez Honduras with air and freight funded by American Airlines and local warehouses. A two week mission will distribute supplies and provide medical aid led by Dr Kenneth Young and Fred Young with support from Chiquita Banana Co. and Gulf Port Compress Warehouse. Monetary contributions are invited via First Baptist Pews Church Chicago.
