HVAC systems serve as the primary or sole source of heat for many homes in Western NC. Countless numbers of those systems have been damaged by flooding and other conditions created by Hurricane Helene. Days, weeks, even months will pass before some WNC residents can have their HVAC systems repaired or replaced as needed. There will be many homes in Western North Carolina in need of alternative heating methods.

The Town of Murphy is in its pilot year of founding the Mayor's Rising Stars (MRS). MRS is a youth development program which encourages leadership, community engagement, and volunteerism. After Hurricane Helene hit many WNC counties to the east of Murphy, the Mayor's Rising Stars decided they wanted to host a walkathon fundraiser to provide funding to communities in need. Our group has chosen to donate to Haywood Christian Ministry because of its valuable work in Haywood County with food distribution, rural community support, and dedication to sustainable rebuilding in WNC. If you plan to participate in our November 23rd, 2024 walkathon, please donate $10 or more to this Gofundme. 100% of donated funds will go directly to Haywood Christian Ministry. Let's band together and help out our neighbors in WNC! #WNCStrong
