ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A Kansas couple is taking a trip to the Last Frontier - and they’re taking a ton of beef with them.

The journey is being led by Cow Team 6, an organization that works to help communities recover from recent disasters.

The initiative was started by Jeremy and Nicole Scheffler following Hurricane Helene in September 2024.

“They felt like they needed to help out,” said CT6 Incident Commander Kenny Rypstra. “Ultimately he just felt like he could help by bringing beef down there.”

The Scheffler’s efforts continued during the flooding in Texas last summer, which connected Rypstra with the organization.

“We were at church, and we were praying for the families that were affected and I kind of felt like I needed to do something,” he said. “I went to go find how I could help and got linked up and met Jeremy and Nicole there. We all helped with the search and rescue there and ultimately decided to team up and expand CT6.”
