Dye Pirates advocate for health of neighbors

Cliff Williams / The Outlook Dyed Pirates Society owner John VandenBrook sorts the store’s tie-dye products Wednesday afternoon.

The owners of Dye Pirates in Dadeville are actively paying it forward and encouraging others to do the same by offering free supplies to anyone who needs them.

John Vandenbrook and his wife, Serenity, and daughter, Harmony Queen, began by sewing two-ply personal protection masks and donating them to area residents. They realized they had excess items residents seem to be searching for including toilet paper, Clorox wipes, antibacterial soap and Lysol, so included these gratuitous items to their philanthropy.
