Our thoughts and prayers go to our friends and colleagues in North Carolina suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The American Chestnut Foundation, headquartered in Asheville, sent this link to verified groups for those who would like to contribute.
The full picture of devastation is emerging from Hurricane Helene’s disastrous and deadly path through Western North Carolina.
Homes, businesses, roads, infrastructure, cell towers, and anything else in Helene’s path were washed away or severely damaged by raging flood waters and strong winds. For so many of the nearly 1 million residents in Western North Carolina’s beautiful mountains, the recovery process has barely begun.
Neighbors are trying to help one another and relief programs, both national and local, are mobilizing.
To assist the public in looking for ways to contribute, volunteer, or donate, BPR has compiled the list of resources below. We’ll keep this updated.
