Sometimes, the true heart of a community shines brightest when people come together to help a family in need. Justin headed over to Burns Drive in Kill Devil Hills, where Master Heating & Cooling, Lennox Air Systems and Interfaith Community Outreach teamed up to provide Tom and Jennifer Dileo with a brand-new heating and air conditioning system. Jennifer is battling an aggressive form of breast cancer, facing extensive travel and significant financial challenges as she undergoes treatment. Having a clean, reliable home-comfort system was something this family could no longer put off. Thanks to the generosity of Interfaith Community Outreach and both of their families, that need became a reality. With two children at home, this gift means so much more than a new HVAC system. It’s a reminder that compassion, kindness and a community willing to show up can make all the difference. This is what the Outer Banks community is all about.  To contribute to families in need of such funding as The Dileo family, click here to see learn more about Interfaith Community Outreach
