Hurricane Helene Resources
Communities across the state of North Carolina are facing numerous challenges in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Many have been without power for an extended period of time, lost homes, vehicles, food, and even loved ones. The damage is catastrophic and the aftermath and recovery are ongoing. We share sadness and concern for those in the Western part of our state most impacted by the storm. There is much to be done on their road to recovery, please help where you can.
