July 9, 2025 | Texas Flood Relief — In a story that’s both bizarre and deeply human, Fox News host Sean Hannity found himself in the middle of an unexpected disaster relief saga after personally driving a fog-covered truck loaded with emergency supplies — including jars of pickles, crates of baby formula, and boxes of essential medicine — for over six hours toward a flooded shelter zone in East Texas.
But halfway through the journey, just outside of Jasper County, Hannity's truck began to sputter. Moments later, it stalled completely.
“The dashboard just went black,” Hannity later recounted. “No warning, nothing. And I was in the middle of nowhere.”
The truck — an old delivery vehicle borrowed from a retired farmer and packed to the brim with supplies specifically requested by shelter coordinators — was now sitting immobile on the side of a waterlogged road, surrounded by fog and silence.
What happened next, however, became an instant internet sensation.
A group of volunteer firefighters from a nearby church convoy recognized the stalled vehicle from a livestream Hannity had posted just 20 minutes earlier. Without hesitation, they rerouted their own rescue van to reach him. Within 40 minutes, five of them arrived, helped offload all the cargo, and created a human chain to move the goods into their backup vehicle — while Hannity joined them, hauling boxes in the mud, still in his drenched button-up shirt.
“He was carrying that giant box of baby formula like it was nothing,” one volunteer told reporters. “Didn’t stop for a second. No cameras. Just working.”
Among the supplies were more than 80 jars of pickles — a strange request at first glance, but a comfort food for many of the elderly evacuees at the flooded nursing facility Hannity was headed toward. The delivery arrived just before sunset.
The gesture has now gone viral under the hashtag #PicklesAndHannity, with thousands of users praising the unusual but heartfelt effort.
“I don’t care what side you’re on politically,” one mother wrote online. “That man showed up with formula when our shelves were empty. Respect.”
Fox News has since confirmed that Hannity used his own money and a borrowed truck to fulfill the supply run, refusing outside sponsorship or coverage.
“He didn’t want this to be a headline,” one crew member said. “He just wanted to help.”
Looks like it’s too late for that now.
