PHOTOS SUBMITTED In what one volunteer called “a God thing,” approximately two dozen men from at least seven churches came together recently to build a porch for a widow. Norma Reeves lost her husband, Richard “Moose” Reeves, in an accident in 2022, not long after he had torn down their worn-out porch with the intention of building a new one. On Saturday, June 24, neighbors and other members of the Lincoln County community met at Reeves’ Bogue Chitto home and constructed her a new covered porch in just a few hours’ time.
