This past weekend, we successfully completed our mission to aid multiple severely impacted communities in western North Carolina. None of this would have been possible without the incredible generosity and compassion of so many. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the dads’ group, all of our supporters, and every donor who stepped up in this time of need. Your kindness enabled us to deliver vital supplies such as water, chainsaws, gas, propane, and gas generators to the hardest-hit areas, providing critical relief.

We were also fortunate to partner with the amazing team at water to wine Boone operations, who are sending out daily convoys to reach smaller, isolated communities. Their use of side-by-side UTVs to access the most impacted, undrivable roads has been essential in delivering aid to those in desperate need.

While we’ve made a significant impact, the need remains urgent. There is still a critical demand for gas generators (any size), gas cans, fuel, and batteries of all sizes. Your continued support is crucial as we help these communities recover and rebuild.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood by us during this challenging time. Please note that most collection centers and churches are no longer accepting donations of water, food, or paper products, as they have shifted focus to more pressing needs.

We also encourage you to directly support open and less-affected areas in the WNC mountains. While there are ongoing relief efforts throughout the region, communities like Blowing Rock were blessed to be spared from the worst of Helene and everyone from servers to cleaners to property managers to restaurant and retail shop owners heavily depend on tourism revenue during the Fall season.

The McCloud’s are a STMM family who own three rental properties in Blowing Rock and have increased availability for families looking to support the local area during this challenging time. You can check out their properties at Mountain Haven Vacation Rentals.
