LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The city praised a Louisville Jeep club Tuesday for helping people during January's snow storm.
Mayor Craig Greenberg said the VooDoo Jeep Club gave rides to 120 people during the storm, primarily to those who work for the city's health care providers.
The winter storm blanketed Kentuckiana starting Sunday, Jan. 5, making it the snowiest day in the city since 1998. The storm lasted through Monday, Jan. 6, with the effects being felt that entire week that ended with additional snowfall.
"We so appreciate our partners in the community who take this extra step to do good for others, to help others in need, people like the Louisville VooDoo Jeep Club," Greenberg said.
The club also learned about a single mother and her child who lost power and safely took them to a hotel.
"A lot of people see us and don't understand why we do it, because first it's fun, but now we actually get to give back and use it so it was a real honor for us," Ed Clark, with VooDoo Jeep Club, said.
The club was formed in 2020 to bring together a community of Jeep lovers. It is now a 501c nonprofit, working with partners to help families in need.
