How can I help the victims of Hurricane Helene?
We’re collecting materials as a church over the next couple of months to help those in need in western NC & eastern TN. The Hoolehan family has volunteered to deliver the donations. They’ll be traveling down there at least twice: October 18 & November 25.
Please drop off your donations at the church, Tuesdays - Fridays (10 AM - 3 PM) or Sundays (9 AM - 12 PM).
Donation Needs:
There is a need for all these items but those in BOLD indicate greatest need.
Volunteer organizations have requested a large quantity of one item vs a mixture of different items (Example: If you only have $40 to spend on donations, buy $40 of one item). It helps them organize things faster!
