Donate Emergency Supplies to Help Hurricane Helene Victims
The aftermath of catastrophic Catagory 4 Hurricane Helene has left devastation across the Southeast, especially in western North Carolina. Over 160 people have died, and more than 2 million people are left without power. Because of flood damage to roads and bridges, many are stranded and in urgent need of lifesaving aid like food, water, and medical supplies.
The people of western North Carolina need your help. World Help is hosting a drive in our warehouse in Forest, Virginia, to send lifesaving supplies to survivors in the hardest-hit areas. We are working with partners just outside of Asheville, serving families and individuals in urgent need.
