Community Relief Efforts After Hurricane Helene

In response to Hurricane Helene, communities across North Carolina and beyond have mobilized support to provide relief to affected areas. Heather Oberg and Nicole Schoychid created a real-time dashboard, Supporting WNC, to streamline donations and identify immediate needs. Local efforts include a group from the Midstate who delivered 50,000 pounds of supplies and are raising funds for UTVs to reach inaccessible areas. Various organizations, such as Cornerstone Summit Church and Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School, have also coordinated donation drives to assist those in need. Additionally, the newly formed nonprofit We Feed NC has delivered over 1,000 meals to impacted families and rescue workers. This collective effort showcases the compassion and resilience of communities coming together to aid those affected by the storm.
