Randolph Countians are generous people
Randolph Countians are, for the most part, no different from anyone else who lives in the western foothills of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Sometimes we stop and let a waiting motorist into our line of traffic the moment they are spotted. Other times we won’t; we make them sit and wait for what seems like forever when one would-be good natured driver would lose nothing by letting the motorist in line. We speed up when the traffic signals turn yellow often times running the red light before getting through an intersection — all at the risk of eternity to save three or four minutes. We hesitate to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks (where they have the right-of-way) taking our chances with fate. When it comes to charity, though, we are as generous as anyone anywhere. We open our wallets and purses at the asking for help. Here are some examples of the charitable organizations we support and the amounts of money they collect.
