Fundraiser to help deputy who lost home
A fundraiser will be held Friday, Feb. 20, to help a Jackson County sheriff's deputy who lost his home during a fire this past week.
During an interview with WLOX-TV reporter Sylvia Hall, deputy Tommy Howard said he and his wife escaped with their lives through a window. He said they lost everything in the fire.
Howard, 72, is also assistant pastor at New Light Baptist Church in Vancleave.
The fundraiser is expected to begin at 6 p.m. at the church on Burney Road.
Donations to help the family may be made to the Howard Family Fund at any branch of Hancock Bank.
Residents may call 826-3315 for information.
