Unfortunately, the typical hurricane relief effort only lasts three weeks before those not affected and national media move on. However those needing help in Western North Carolina have lost their homes, jobs, and income. As access continues to improve, they will need building materials to clear the area and set up temporary shelters. Please do not forget them, as the effects will last months, possibly years.
Below are links to donate, many which are local organizations right in those counties that were affected. Please consider these folks in need, especially as the weather becomes cooler, and we head into the holiday season.
