Nearly 100 Semi loads of supplies have been sent to our NC distribution sites in: Hendersonville, Asheville, Black Mountain, Burnsville, Boone, Old Fort, Swannanoa. From there helicopters are getting to the hardest hit areas that can’t get to us. Additional sites are set up in Johnson City, TN, Perry, FL; Douglas, GA and the Bristol Motor Speedway. We are working to get Starlinks, water tankers, fuel tankers, industrial generators, and hot meals to each site.
You have seen the vast needs. Infrastructure, such as running water, may be out for weeks or months in some places. Interstates will take a year in NC. There is still search and rescue taking place. We anticipate the need for volunteer teams in the next week or so when we have above structures in place. We don’t want to create bigger problems for the area already taxed with resources. That said, we beg you not to self deploy.
Our team has been working nonstop with little sleep for the past week. Sorry for the delay in this update, there just isn’t enough time. Please Pray. Please Give.
These are some of the things that have been shipped thanks to your donations and our partners:
- Non-perishable foods
- Water (pallets of cases, jugs, as well as tankers, working on pumps)
- Industrial and household generators
- Refrigerator/freezer trailers

- Hay for horses
