Good morning from Valdese, North Carolina! 🇺🇸 Patriot Relief is back at it, building insulated tractor sheds to help our neighbors stay on their land and rebuild. First off—whoever sent me this awesome 828 Strong hat, thank you! I’m holding it instead of wearing it because, well, my head and trucker caps don’t get along. But let’s talk about the real work happening here. We’re making sure folks in Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, and Buncombe counties can move out of tent cities and back into stable living situations—on their own land, in their own communities. Because let’s be real: North Carolinians love being in North Carolina. They shouldn’t have to leave their roots to find relief. These tractor sheds aren’t just shelters; they’re a way for families to store building materials and tools as they rebuild their homes. You can’t exactly haul a renovation project in the back of a Toyota Camry, right? Here’s the best part: everyone here is a volunteer. They’ve taken time off work and life to lend a hand, proving what neighbors helping neighbors really looks like. And this work? It’s powered by YOUR donations. No scams, no grifting—just North Carolinians and Americans doing what we do best: showing up for each other. It’s been eight weeks, y’all, and there are still people living in tents. That’s unacceptable, and we’re not backing down. If you want to help, here’s how: 💥 Donate 💥 Grab some merch—it all supports the cause. 💥 Volunteer with us here in Valdese or on upcoming projects. And don’t forget about our Winter Wonderland Christmas project—let’s make the holidays special for those who need it most. North Carolina was strong, is strong, and will only get stronger because we’re doing this together. Follow along, support the work, and let’s make it happen!

How are you planning to give back to your community this holiday season?

While I love and support Note in the Pocket's #GivingShoesDay campaign with all my heart, this message is not about that. This message is about our WNC friends and their LONG-TERM clothing insecurity needs, especially now that morning temperatures are in the teens. Being one of the largest clothing insecurity-focused distribution programs in the country has its advantages. Our friends at Soles4Souls have shipped 7 pallets of NEW Calvin Klein clothes, shoes, coats, bedding, blankets, etc., to our Wake facility for WNC friends in need. Companies, foundations, and faith communities have also asked how they can help us help WNC neighbors in need. I believe most of us have a very clear understanding that this is an issue that will take years to resolve. Some people will be back on their feet a lot faster than others. We must keep the children, families, those alone, and our elderly who will continue to wait and struggle in our hearts until things are better for everyone. We have been sending carloads of warmth, comfort and confidence through a small network of friends and faith communities. While the reports vary, around 25 Western North Carolina counties were included in the federal disaster declaration on September 28th. Here is where we need your help. 1. As clothing resources become available, we would like to build a list of contacts in different areas of WNC who can accept and distribute clothing donations to local children, families, and individuals in need. We will only send WHAT is needed in the AMOUNTS that they can handle, based on what is available. We would like a specific point person, contact method, and agency/nonprofit and/or faith community program names for the contact list. 2. If you travel to or from the Wake County area to different areas of WNC and can transport and deliver items from our Raleigh location to partners located where you are heading, we would like to add you to our volunteer distribution list. When items come in we will seek someone on our list to pick up and deliver at their convenience. No pressure. Please share this with friends, family and/or organizations that you are connected with that would like to help and we'll connect resources to the need as they come in. Contact us at info@noteinthepocket.org. Thank you!

The Fifth Day of Yule: Honoring Community and Giving Back On the 5th day of Yule, we celebrate the spirit of community and the connections that bind us together. This day is an opportunity to show gratitude for the support of others and to give back to the people and places that make our communities thrive. Yule reminds us that even in the darkest days of winter, we can be a light for those in need. Small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on others and help weave the fabric of a strong and caring community. ✨ Ways to Celebrate Community on the Fourth Day of Yule: • Feed the Unhoused: Prepare meals, donate food, or volunteer your time with a local organization that supports unhoused individuals. Warm meals and care can go a long way during the winter months. • Share Your Skills or Products: If you run a business, consider donating items, services, or a portion of your profits to local shelters, food banks, or support groups. • Support Local Organizations: Offer your time to a group that aligns with your values—whether it’s helping at an animal shelter, mentoring youth, or working with environmental initiatives. • Acts of Neighborly Kindness: Check in on neighbors, especially the elderly or those living alone, and offer assistance like shoveling snow or running errands. Celebrating community is about sharing the abundance we have, however small, to uplift others. Together, we can create warmth and connection during this sacred season. ✨ Blessed Yule! ✨

Heartbreaking. 💔 First, I want to commend Tara Cochrane and Shawna Pereira for their incredible products, built with love, passion, and always a smile. Thank you, ladies, for leading by example and lifting up women product makers. Your impact has reached far and wide in your communities over the years and I want to wish you all the best on your next journey. 💪❤️ Now, let me vent a bit. Despite years of support for women-owned businesses, our efforts fall short as Canadian women business owners are still being forced to close their doors. The current economic climate isn’t helping. Businesses are operating on razor-thin margins, holding out hope for a lifeline—while the government continues to funnel support to foreign companies without expecting anything in return. It's as if Canadian small businesses are invisible in the equation. Here's a straightforward solution I’ve advocated for repeatedly at events and in closed-door discussions with ministers and policymakers (who listen, nod, but rarely act ): 💡 The simplest way to support Canadian businesses is by buying their products and services. Our government can, and should, open up supply chains to Canadian small businesses—the true backbone of our economy. Break down massive contracts into smaller, accessible opportunities and empower Canadian talent to lead the transformation our economy needs. By conditioning large investments with mandatory buy-local requirements, we can start a ripple effect that boosts our own communities and give Canadian women-owned businesses a fair shot. As the largest buyer in our nation, the Government of Canada holds immense power to create meaningful change for Canadian businesses. It’s time to go beyond lip service and take action that matters. I firmly believe in the incredible impact we can create when we unite behind a shared vision. Now, more than ever, we need champions who are willing to step up for Canadian women-owned businesses and open up the supply chains that will allow them to thrive. Together, we can make a lasting difference in our economy and our communities. Will you support this mission and champion having more products and services from Canadian women-owned businesses in supply chains?
