  • Mr. Profenno and a fellow community member have a manned trailer stationed at the Walmart in Murphy, NC and are also collecting at their business location, 220 Reservoir Rd., in Murphy. It's a great thing they're doing. My wife and I dropped off some supplies at the trailer at Walmart this morning. It's definitely not a scam. These people and people like them are what make America great! They will end their collection drive at the end of day on Friday, Sept. 1, and leave for Texas on Saturday, Sept. 2.
