Middletown business delivers food, water to Trotwood tornado victims, volunteers

Kingswell Seminary, a downtown Middletown business, delivered three vans full of food, water and non-perishable items this afternoon to residents and volunteers in “one of the hardest hit areas” in Trotwood.

Jeri Lewis, community relations director at Kingswell, said 200 sandwiches were purchased by Kingswell at the Subway on Breiel Boulevard at a reduced price, and those sandwiches fed 137 volunteers and residents. She said other items that were dropped off at Kingswell Tuesday and today were passed out to residents on Shiloh Springs Road.

When the Subway sandwiches were gone, Lewis said McDonald’s hamburgers were purchased and handed out to children in the neighborhood.

Lewis said the vans were driven to the Trotwood Public Works Department, then they were directed to the neighborhood. Lewis described the destruction as “unreal” because there were homes destroyed and others untouched on the same street.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” she said.

Lewis planned to return to Kingswell today, then make another delivery tonight. She said a cookout is planned at Arena Bar and Grill on Salem Avenue in Dayton.
