Western NC Hurricane Relief Update – Phase 2 Begins
We are incredibly thankful for the overwhelming support during Phase 1 of the Western NC hurricane relief efforts. Through your generosity, we have been able to assist more than 3,000 families, delivering approximately 8,000 lbs of food and dry goods, 1,500 lbs of baby items, and 74,000 lbs of water to communities in need.
Phase 2: Specific Donations Now Needed
As we transition into Phase 2, our focus shifts to long-term recovery and clean-up efforts. While we are no longer accepting general physical donations, we are still collecting specific items that will be transported directly to the areas in need we are in contact with.
For a limited time, we are accepting the following items at our RockFish Church, Raeford location drop-off point:
- Starter blocks / Fire Starter
- Charcoal
- Propane cans small 1lbs
- Liquid protein drinks
- Work gloves
- Work socks
- Toboggans
- buddy heaters
- Work boots
- tents all sizes
- sleeping bags
- Grills
- long protective gloves
- small camp stoves
- pop top cans of food
Volunteer Opportunities
Although ERN is not coordinating volunteer teams at this time, we encourage you to connect with organizations that are actively mobilizing volunteers for clean-up efforts:
- Samaritan’s Purse in Burnsville, NC: Volunteer here
- Baptist on Mission across Western NC: Get involved here
We are committed to transparency and integrity in stewarding your donations and efforts, ensuring they reach those in need. Thank you for standing with us during this critical time.
