A Hudson County town has “adopted” a town in Texas that felt the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey.

Secaucus residents rose to the challenge and donated enough supplies to fill a tractor-trailer. All of those supplies were donated to the people of Katy, Texas – a Houston suburb.

Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli says that the partnership between the two towns started when a Secaucus native living in Texas told her family in New Jersey that Katy firefighters rescued her family from their flooded home.  Her hometown stepped up to return the favor to her adopted one.

“It made me feel like we are a giving town and that's what we are,” says Mayor Gonnelli. “Any time there’s any kind of tragedy throughout the United States, we are there."

Secaucus residents were able to fill a 53-foot truck with cleaning supplies, personal items and clean undergarments. It took them just under 10 days.

Family-owned trucking company Apex Express donated the truck and the driver.

“Twenty-six pallets, a 53-foot trailer will hold. We had every bit of 26 pallets and then some double-stacked,” says Bob Cerchione with Apex Express. “The town of Secaucus, the people, came together.  And the generosity? I can't even tell you."

The truck left New Jersey Monday morning and arrived in Katy Wednesday.

A Katy resident posted a video on Facebook of the truck’s arrival, and thanked the people of Secaucus.

Secaucus residents and Apex Express say that they will host another donation drive for the victims of Hurricane Irma in Florida.
