Hurricane Helene recovery update: East Tennessee How to help our region 👇🏼 10/7/24 DONATIONS/SUPPLIES Every place that takes them is inundated. Unless you’re answering a specific need, let’s hold off on donations for a while. This can help volunteers redirect their time from sorting donations to more pressing needs. VOLUNTEERS Churches and schools throughout the region need your help organizing and distributing donations. They need delivery drivers with four-wheel drive. They need people to help neighbors clean houses, cut trees, remove debris. Everyone is exhausted and they need your help. HEAVY EQUIPMENT If you or anyone you know has a way to get earth-moving equipment into these neighborhoods, let me know. I can help coordinate. Roan Mountain is one example. Spruce Pine is another.

While the damage of Hurricane Helen is still being assessed, we as Carolina Community from our SERVPRO Team Starritt want to share ways you can help from areas far and wide. 1- Donate to Non-Profit Organizations // Organizations such as the AARP Foundation are gathering funds to ensure that all of the profits go to the relief and support of those impacted by hurricane damage. 2-Volunteer your Time //  If you live within an area where you can ideally travel to damaged sites, register under a disaster relief organization to give your time to efforts needing assistance such as tree removal, donated goods organizations, debris cleanup, etc.  You can sign up at redcross.org, justserve.com, and at nc.gov/volunteernc. Important to note: Do not just show up to the communities impacted without registering through an organization. They are limited to resources and it takes careful planning and consideration to direct the efforts of volunteers effectively. 3 - Send Resources // Even with the very generous efforts of our amazing Carolina communities, the need for resources is still ongoing and has been deemed very limited. Through the same and similar organizations listed above, find items that are needed and register to drop them off at an organization's pick-up zone. 4 - Stay up-to-date // While you may not be experiencing any damage or effects from the storm, it does not mean that the issues and needs of those who were are immediately cared for. Do your best to stay informed and up-to-date with the needs of the communities and areas impacted. Doing so will help them stay updated with the resources they need to recover. Let’s take this time to unite together as a Carolina community ❤️ #carolinastrong #hurricanehelene #disasterrelief #redcross #volunteer #communityservice #donate
