Disaster Relief

Together, we’re bringing relief, recovery, and restoration to those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Like many communities in Western North Carolina, Foscoe was hit hard by Hurricane Helene, and as you see in this post from WNC Strong, the needs continue as NEW storms have hit our area…

Your generosity will make an immediate impact.


We are dedicated to being an essential link to connect those affected with the items and resources they need, through the assistance of generous volunteers and donors both in and out of the Western NC area.
